My Boss is out of Commission

Sorry to say, but my car will be sitting for the next 5 months in my CarCapsule,
Exactly 1400 wonderful miles enjoyed !
At least I will be able to open my garage door and still admire her..
By the way, what the heck is with battery removal. The cloth strap is fixed onto the fastener.

Yeah that's not overkill. Is it going deep sea diving?

Its garage epoxy paint from Values, they had white and grey and I had to have them mix up different variations to get black.

No such thing as over kill!. I bought this on ebay, it was used 1 year in a guys basement for his Viper while the basement went through a upgrade,
He advertised it as 16ft and nobody was bidding on it because 90% of cars are at least 18ft, I didnt even notice the size he had said and bought it Now for 200 bucks, then got it home and it was a 18ft !

Boss in a bubble.


I do admit though, just seeing a car cover gets old. It would be nice to see 901 as its parked in storage.

The floor does look nice but working on older cars sometimes that will spill fluids on the floor precludes me from doing it. Becomes like an ice skating rink.

Sorry about your (temporary) loss he said while prepping his car for the winter driving season

The epoxy paint can hold up to almost any fluids that may leak onto it. And I've also seen it mixed with sand to avoid slipping issues in shops. Looks good op.

It has a fan that continues to run and air escapes through the zipper, The car will remain dry and clean, I literally can remove it in spring and drive it to a car show, It stays that spotless, The fan is about the size of a computer case fan,

Is that a Torino? What year? My uncle has a 71 Torino Gt. I like the Mach 1 on the floor but could never do something like that. I swap cars too much to make it that permanent.

Good stuff. You should get a bubble suit and pose next to your car

Not really a garage queen IMO, he's just preserving it over the winter. He's in Buffalo NY, I say that is fair to put it up while the snow is down. Now if he keeps it in there when the sun is shining...

I've always found those bubbles interesting. Does it give you a port for a battery tender cord to pass through?
