A little pearl. Everyone knows how rust-prone LBC's can be, in spite of the protective layer of engine and transmission oil coating the entire bottom. Well, I purchased a commercial-grade squirrel cage blower box, the kind used to dry out wet carpets, and point the monster at various sections of the car for hours at a time, taking the battery out of circuit for the interior. I even feel a healthy breeze coming out of the scuttle vent because of the hurricane of air moving through the car and frame. So, the car is ultra-dry overnight inside my enclosed garage (Triumph bedroom) after a thorough washing and detailing. We tend to go to extremes sometimes.

And I thought I was a kook for drying my car with the leaf blower (it really works, BTW)!

Yeah, but don't all we LBC-lovers qualify for kookdom?

Great idea, Bill! Living in high humidity areas, it's hard to keep the mildew and mold gremlins at bay. I keep a fan running during the winter months to keep my TR3 dry in my otherwise damp garage.
