Car Covers What to buy, Need something to block the elements while I restore my car in a shade tree environment. Options

Let me know what you all like. My car's exerior needs to be stripped so I'm not so worried about protecting the paint right now. I just want to keep out the weather so all the work on the floorboards won't be ruined by standing water coming through leaky seals in the body.

If you have an old one that looks bad but works contact me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I figure those should be replaced almost last in the rebuild process. After the paint and before the interior goes in.

Here is what Pelican Parts offers

Keep the sides and corners of your tarp off the ground. The southeastern US has high octane humidity.

914 is non- galvanized, light gauge steel unibody car with spot, butt and flange welds in the chassis. Rust is/should be your biggest concern.

Nashville has 40+ inches of rain per year, high humidity, warm weather, etc. Cover something made from metal with a waterproof tarp, add a 20 degree temperature swing between day and night, and you will have made a water still.

"Breathable" machine covers do not work very well in Tn and Ky -- air is usually too humid for the principle of osmosis to encourage the water vapor to find it's way through the small pours in the "breathable" fabric.

AMHIK,
