Anyone recommend a custom car cover? Purchased one from Autozone but had to return due to not fitting.

Thank you. How well does it fit the car? Cover down to the bottom? Have a pic by chance?

i've heard of coverking. never seen or used them. i got a covercraft one for my car... i wanted an excellent quality cover for indoor use (most covers now days are thin cheap tyvek material) i was looking for a poly/cotton blend so i ended up choosing their "tan flannel" cover! and i looked at their overstock outlet store for any discounted ones...found one for a 82-83 t-bird at 75% off!!!
 but apparently those birds are a little smaller in the nose than our torinos
 it fits great except the very front  i need to contact them and see if they will sell me some additional material and i'll have my upholstery guy fix it ( i should have just custom ordered the correct one!!! )heres a link to their home page: http://www.carcoverusa.com/Covercraft-Car-Covers.html?gclid=CLio8YDc4M4CFU1qfgod6XMFGw |

So after talking with each of the major companies on the phone to ensure my 73 GTS would be completely covered I went with the following company (car covers) Quick, fast shipping. Cover is outstanding and well worth the money. It covers the whole car and includes lock, Soft microfiber towels, storage bag. I will try to get pics up in the next couple of days.
