What to do?

I have got a '74 that I finally got shipped to alaska and it has been sitting for about 15 years before now. It runs nicely and everything I was just wondering what I should replace and check since its been sitting so long.

KEEP AN EYE ON YOUR BRAKES. AFTER THESE CARS SIT FOR ANY LONG PERIOD OF TIME, THE BRAKES USUALLY START LEAKING WHEN YOU START DRIVING AGAIN.

I'd replace the calibers with 'O' ring calibers from Vette brakes&products. Best part I ever installed. Never had a brake problem since.
