I'm storing my 1/2 way restored '67 shell under a carport until next summer. I want to know what I have to do to store it properly. The carport will protect it from getting rain and snow on everywhere but the very front and back (it can blow under).

I heard something about a cover that "breathes" so moisture does not get trapped under the cover and in with the car... anyone know where I can pick this up and if it's really necissary?

Anything else that I should do before letting it sit?

Curent Vehicle Condition:

- No motor or tranny.
- Replacing the rear end.
- The body is restored from about the door handle area forward (Metal patches where needed, all undercoated)
- New stock suspension and steering
- The truck bottom and wheel wheels are still rusted to **** (PA Car)

Maybe that will give you guys an idea of what type of shape this vehicle is in.
 
I store mine under a cover bought at Kragens. It was about $150.00, looks like cloth, but keeps out "MOST" of the water, but also allows any moisture under the cover to evaporate out. Due to a leak, I also cover the roof with a separate plastic tarp, but becareful, some tarps bleed colors. A silver tarp left some really bad stains on my body. I put some styrofoam blocks on the roof under the plastic tarp so when it rains, the water will run off instead of puddling up.
 
I wouldn't do anything to it. I think a cover would hurt more than help. Let it breath. The covers SAY they do that but it isn't the same as free flowing air.
