If you plan to work on the car you need something simple as you say like 
visqueen with plywood over top.  If by storing you mean it's gonna sit for 
awhile and you won't be working on it (typical of winter for instance) you 
might consider a storage bag system.  The Perma-Bag system I use to store 
the Max Wedge car consists of a vapor proof bag you spread out on the floor, 
pull the car onto it, put 5 big stainless dessicant canisters in the bag 
along with a hygrometer (this all comes with the bag) and zip it up.  The 
hygrometer is the only electric device involved and it runs for a year on a 
AAA battery.  It goes in a clear vinyl pocket in the rear of the bag where 
it is visible without opening the bag.  The dessicant cannisters are 
re-chargeable by sticking them in your oven at 450degrees for 4 hours.   You 
can't be opening the bag every day or you will load the dessicant cannisters 
with moisture and they will need to be recharged.    Permabag has a website 
at http://www.permabag.com/home.htm.  It's nice to see the hygrometer 
reading 20% RH on days when the ambient humidity is 90 or 100%.  It's kinda 
like having a little piece of the Arizona dessert in my Michigan garage.   
Other stuff I know of is not parking another daily driver in the garage with 
it because in winter for instance the salty slush emits a corrosive vapor 
while the car is warm.  Also found a product in an aerosol can that helps 
prevent rust on sheetmetal surfaces is T-9 Boeshield.  This stuff was 
developed by Boeing to prevent rust or corrosion on aircraft parts, goes on 
like water, gets under the water to the metal, then gets tacky after awhile, 
sorta like old fashioned Cosmolene.  Dan Dvorak sells engine storage stuffon 
his website at www.dvorakmachine.com  He is a real die-hard Mopar Max Wedge 
tuner and machinist.
