<VV> rampside outside storage/Corvair Covers

[HallGrenn at aol.com]

Mark,
 
Mine are a step above housewrap with a soft side against the paint.   Thin 
and light (and white) they don't let moisture accumulate.  I  use Super Snap 
(or Byers' Super Snap) plastic tarp grommets (no holes in  the cover) to 
tie down the front and back end and the supplied  central grommets in the 
center to hold the covers on.  I've found  the Super Snap plastic grommets at RV 
sales places and, occasionally at Home  Depot and Lowes.

Tyvek, huh.  Hadn't considered that.  Works great on houses, glad it 
worked. Yes, mine  is one of the thicker more deluxe ones, and we had a wet winter 
that  year.  It was virtually dripping inside. Mark Durham

Right.  There are covers that are more "breathable" than  others.  I've 
tried a series over the decades and all but the Tyvek ones  trapped a lot of 
moisture--especially the heavier "deluxe" ones.  I've  been getting three or 
four years out of my latest Tyvek ones from  Empire.  I probably have the 
cost of the concrete slab for my (someday)  garage in what I've spent on car 
covers over the years.

harry,  be careful, I put my 62 coupe up on blocks and covered it with  a
breathable car cover and it still collected moisture, showed up  on
metal parts in the car. Mark  Durham
