need an engine area padded car cover for 1960 356B

#1 Post by Donald Pirch »

Need vendor contact info for a custom fit padded car cover w vinyl surface to place around my engine bay to protect car paint from pint ship/scratches including bumper. Had one a long time ago that worked great.
As always this part of the forum is terrific in solving problems. Thx

Don:

If you are talking about the protective cover when working on your car, I got mine from Colgan, the same company that makes the front bras.

Check out Richard Coleman's eBay store with name of "stitchman59". I purchased a tool kit pouch from him for my early 356A and his workmanship is beautiful. He shows rear fender covers on the eBay site which is next on my list of purchases.

I think my idea one would have pockets, a magnetic strip to keep tools at hand and a magnetic bowl for nuts, bolts, etc.

I have the stitchman one - the wife got it for me as a gift. Very nicely made, just as high quality as a good front end cover. Recommended!

The Willhoit one is very nice but the price is up there.
