Default winter storage

Hi, I live in Michigan and its fricken cold! I keep my 78 in garage which is unheated although I do heat it when we work out thier.Woulld it be best to keep car covered or uncovered? I have noticed I do get some moisture when we heat up garage. If it should be covered what is the best type to use, I currently use a lightweight nylon dust cover but am afraid it may hold in moisture. So what is best way to store vette for the winter?
Thanks

Keep it covered. The dust and misc. grap that falls on your car will kill your paint job. Just make sure the cover you use is breathable. You will see some moisture when you heat the garage but with a breathable cover this will evaperate. The cover will also keep you from scratching the paint if you accidently hit the car when your working on something else. :cheers:
