can anyone recomend a high quality car cover. Do they make one that is big enough to cover the wheels also?

Check over at DMP. There are LOTS on the market. Are you looking for all weather, just for the garage....etc. DO NOT skimp on the price.....the expensive ones are expensive because the material is better. Also, DO NOT use a tie-down when it's on the car. The wind starts blowing (like it doesn't down here) and the next thing you know the tie down has rubbed a spot on your rocker panels down to the primer.

Good luck

California Car Covers are the best IMHO. I have one fer the merc and the deuce, used to have one fer the goat. Its what all the highrollers at the NSRA Street Rod Nationals use...that is when the billet baby's aint in a trailer if ya know what I mean.

I understand what you mean with thte tie downs but I have some nice rims that some low life has already failed at taking. So is that little locking tie down going to do the same thing??? I need something for outside when the car is sleeping at night.

You just have to make sure that it is secure and tha NOTHING is rubbing against the paint. In other words a snug fit. You'll be able to tell when you get it on there
