Advice on high end cover for outside

[SanRafaelFaz]

Greetings:
My '78 project is nearly done. All mechanics, bodywork, paint and most of the interior completed. And she looks like a star if I say so myself. (Tried posting a pic from Shutterfly but I'll be damned if I can figure it out)! I've kept her parked in my garage since being painted but that's going to have to change, soon. I'm probably going to have to leave her out this winter and will be looking for a high quality, heavy duty cover. Our winters are not harsh, seldom gets to freezing, but we have a fair amount of rain. I'll probably keep a trickle charger hooked up as well, but I do intend on the occasional clear winter day drives.
Any advice on what to look for, or if any of you are using one you can recommend would be appreciated.

no cover for at least 6 weeks after paint.... and then something that breathes.... a car cover that will protect and breathe will set you back 2 or 3 hundred bucks.... california car cover is a good one.... iap sell a noah cover that i have heard good things about also

I would extend that "no cover" dictum to about 6 months, not weeks, after painting. Give your new paint the most time to cure that you can.

You need the heaviest, breathiest, softest-lined cover you can get. In the wind, any cover will rub against your (new) paint finish.

It's rough, being without garage space for a prized old car with a finish that needs max protection!

I park mine in an inflatable bubble

Ken, that's quite impressive. Would that work outside, though?
