car cover??

Hey guys,

I need to have my 70s Fullzise Ford sitting outside for cold snowy Michigan Winter!!!! [img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_frown.gif[/img]
Now I am looking into car covers. Does it really have to be the 150 or 200 Bucks covers?

Or will a 70 Dollar cover be enough? I mean it is not a show car, I just don't want it to rust away or whatever could happen...

any ideas?
thanks

You could always put a blue tarp over it with towels or something underneth.

Steer clear of the blue plastic tarp. Condensation will form and the moisture will rust the metal. You need to have a breatherable cover that will allow air to get in and dry the moisture.
