I have a tarp I carry that is already outfitted with bungee cords with "hooks" on the end. Soon as it starts raining anything more than a drizzle I stop and spread it over the car and the hooks make attaching the bungees quite easy. I hook them on the wheel spokes, on the headers/sidepipes, on the bumpers. I have yet to see how it would withstand heavy wind, but it does work well for just rain without the wind.

I am getting ready to have the interior redone on mine...plan on putting in drain plugs! The floor on my replica is steel, so I will take a 1/2" castlenut and have it welded "upside down" onto the floor on the interior...then when the floor pans fill up with water, all I have to do is unscrew the bolt that goes through the floor and the water will run out past the "lugs" on the castle nut. I am also going to have the cockpit carpeted in marine carpet...made to withstand getting wet. The seats will be vinyl except for the contact areas, which will be leather so that I can treat it with Neatsfoot Oil to waterproof it. Gotta be proactive!!!

Cheers!
