Car Cover Suggestion

Road Rage · 09-29-2009, 03:56 PM

Anyone have a car cover they can suggest for a 1963 Corvette Roadster. Car stays inside a heated shop during the winter, so I don’t need a waterproof one. I am having trouble finding one that might fit. I could have a custom one made, but the instructions and number of measurements are substantial. Not that I can’t, I just thought I would ask prior to this exercise.
Let me know if someone has a suggestion.
Thanks much

Unless it has custom body features I would think the major companies already hae a ready made cover for a 63.Google car covers and you'll get all the major companies.

Yes, already contacted the one mentioned (named after a state) and they dropped the ball 3x's. Was hoping someone here has a 63-Vette Roadster and can give me a manufacturer and part number. If you do a Google search you get all kinds of options, but not "specifically" what I am looking for.
Thanks

Thanks for some of the replies. Just to clarify, this is a race car not a street car. Car was built by Undercover in 2004.
Thanks

I'd try Drag Tarp (http://www.dragtarp.com/). They built one for my 03 Cavalier roadster, so the measurements can't be too far off... Even if you do have to do some measuring to have them custom build one for you, it's WELL worth it.

We use a drag tarp for our dragster when it has to sit outside (like on race weekends at the track), but it's thick/heavy. Don't get me wrong, we love it, but if it was just to cover it in a shop over the winter, I'd think you'd want something thinner??

Mike,
Thanks for the suggestion, I gave them a call and one is on the way.

Chris,
They do make a cloth version as well and that is what I went with.

I will let you all know how it works out.
