Does anyone have one? or a recommendation on a good one to buy?
I have to cover it while outside at the body shop
Any thoughts on a 'carcoon' type inflatable car port?
 
No such thing, they all breathe and some moisture gets through. If you use plastic sheeting, it will condense under it. You will be sorry, ask me how I know. Your best bet for outside storage is the climate controlled cocoon kind of deal if you can find one.

Honestly though, you got the wrong body shop. It shouldn’t sit outside period, no excuses. Start the project and finish it with no delays.
 
@ch1ll is right. No such thing as a waterproof cover. Why does it have to sit outside at the bodyshop? It seems to me that they should be able to say something like, "We finish the car ahead of you on Friday, so bring your car at 4:30 on Friday, and we'll start on it Monday morning. Once they start on it, there is no reason for it to go outside.
 
Especially no reason for it to be outside after primer. Primer absorbs moisture.
May be time to find a different shop.

I have all the body parts to fix this except for the aluminum rocker panel sill plate. Laysons has it on back order. After they pull the hinge pillar and rocker panel out on the frame machine... they said we may need to have a rocker panel and hinge pillar cut form a junk yard donor car. Then cut the old one out and weld the new part back in. It's a small restoration shop with limited space, so it would be outside until the parts come in from the junk yard. probably 2 weeks max.
I did buy a sealskin cover, last week, hopefully it will do the job for the 2 weeks
 
I got mine at PePBoys and a decent price too. I'm pretty sure it was $79.00
