car capsule questions - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Corbusa · 10-10-2011

Gentlemen , Here in TN it has lots of moisture and during the winters I am thinking of getting a car capsule .. has anyone used them? I'd like your opinion.. BTW my vette is inside the shop , but the shop is not insulated and it's pretty open on the eves ( too much work to insulate at this point) . But no rain or snow can get inside .. I was reading on the car capsule info that they recommend cracking the windows etc and the car capsule has a fan , But wouldnt that bring the cold air in during the winter ? I was thinking of placing a couple of the Golden rods used in gun safes to keep things dry in and around the vette . Your opinion ? Thanks
I've had the vette for 1 week and ever since I got it home I've pulled double shifts and haven't even had time to start her up..sshheeezzz. So this Tuesday I was going to take off work early and go for a long drive - now they say its going to rain...uuggggg

I have had one for almost 10 years. Have kept my zr1 or street rod in it. Use the capsule inside a shipping container that is vented. The car comes out about 90% of the condition I put it in the capsule after 6 months storage. Have found it is best to place a piece of cardboard inside between the fan and car to deflect the air from blowing directly on the car.
