Car Cover Recommendations

Hi all:

If this is in the wrong forum, please move.  I searched for this, but didn't see anyone else asking.

When I got my '77, I thought I'd have it running in a matter of weeks.  But it is taking much longer.  I use my shop for woodworking as a second income, and can't put off paying work any longer.  Obviously, this will create a dust issue for my car.  I've never used a car cover before.  So I'm not sure what to look for.  I don't plan to use the cover outside.  And I don't plan to use it for more than a few months (I hope!).  My shop is insulated, but only climate controlled when I'm using it (window heat and AC).  I don't want to spend a bunch, as this is a temporary situation.  I've found this one for $52 with free shipping:

But I don't know if that's a good deal or not.  They have a cheaper one, but it doesn't "breathe".  The car came from a damp building and had mildew issues when I got it.  I cleaned that up.  But I don't want it to come back.  The paint on this car is 9.5/10.  So I want to protect it.  Conversely, I don't want to damage it with a cover, either.

Any advice would be appreciated.

For inside "dust covers" I use the large size ones from Advance Auto, $25.  I parked my 280 outside last summer.  Bought a $100 dollar breathable one this time.  Now the 280 is inside with rusty bits and pieces and my newer Camry is outside, the cover has shredded already.

I've read good things about these covers and they do ask for the particular car, not size 1, 2 or 3.  If I decide to buy another cover I'm calling these guys to ask about mirror pockets and custom fitting.  My .02 cents.

The budge one looks fine for your needs.

I keep my Z outside so I went with a Covercraft Noah. It's pricey but the PepBoys cover I had ripped and leaked.
