Default Pulling car out of storage

It's been 6 months since I've started my 95 Camaro. Unfortunately I pulled the plugs & wires because I was replacing them. Got called back to Fort Knox midway through, and I'm just now getting back since last August.
What are some things I need to think about? Rust in cylinders? Is there anything I should do prior to turning it over?

Should be fine, just incase....PB Blast in each plug hole and turn it over by a few times by hand. Are you a Guard in the Army?

Car was indoors right? I might use some seafoam fogging oil but wouldn't get too worried about it.

That's what I was thinking about doing too. I wish I would have known I'd be away from it for so long, so I could have put the plugs back in or something.

A guard in the army? Are you asking if I guard Fort Knox?

It was inside a barn, so it went through the cold of a SC winter.

OK I had to laugh at that, I live near Green Bay WI and for 4 years lived 250miles NORTH of here.

I asked more because I would have worried more about blowing dirt and such not cold. Been an extraordinarily warm winter here and we have still been below zero.

Ha I never said SC was cold. It's been crazy warm, compared to last year in KY too. But you don't get to pick what you wear in the army, so we're running around in ranger panties (google it) while there's a foot of snow on the ground.

So I should be fine starting the car?
