Does that stay inflated or do you have to top it up after a while ?

It has a small fan that is always running.  It is supposed to cost about a $1.50 a month to run.

Does it ever get damp inside the bubble with temp change in the air and any humidity ?

Thank you. Not fuelers as they are Halibrand Replicas.  They only made them for a short time.  JD wheel and a few others sold them.  Likely got in trouble calling them Halibrands.
They look good were really cheap and well balanced.  The center caps were plain and I made the decals for them. I bought a set a friend seen them and bought a set and then they were gone.
Here are some picts on this tread.

I ordered the 20ft size, 18ft would likely work.  I set it up by myself and it was pretty easy.  I am very pleased so far.  I should have set it up when it was warmer as the wrinkles are slow to smooth out.

By having a constant flow of air there is not supposed to be any condensation.  In extreme humidity the directions said to leave the zipper open
a couple inches to increase air exchange.  Just bought it, so no issues so far.

Looks like a toy car on a shelf  ;D
I was elevated standing in the bed of a trailer when I took the picture.  I also build models and I had sent that picture by cell phone to some friends.  And a couple though it was a model I built that I tried to make look real
by putting it inside clear plastic.

I really dont need one of those car capsulesĀ® but I WANT ONE!

71charger_fan

I still haven't gotten mine aligned after rebuilding the front suspension but had to pull it out of the garage to dig out the snowblower. While it was out, I drove around the neighborhood just to charge the battery and evaporate any moisture in the oil. It drives better as it is now with fresh, non-adjusted parts than it did before. Should be great with a proper alignment.

Fully rebuilt my ac/heater box very happy how it turned out but one expensive box had to source nos actuators ,h valve, fan motor, heater core and ac evaporator

will

Brought the ole girl back to New York from Arkansas. Guess what, no snow and I didn't even bother asking after the last condescending drivel from guess who?

Moved my 70 back into the shop from house garage for winter project time

After rebuilding the front suspension, I finally got around to taking it for an alignment. After getting it where he wanted it, the threads pulled out of the nut on one of the reproduction camber bolts. I had to dig around until I found some originals in the bottom of a bucket in the attic. Inferior grade of steel? Improper heat treatment? Who knows. It was annoying as no one within 30 miles had a camber bolt in stock. Glad to be a hoarder sometimes. I don't remember where I bought those. Makes me a little nervous about the other three.

Now the Christmas rush is over I moved things around in the shop today
Moved the engine up along side the car so I could move the car all the way back to make room if we needed to get something in the shop

Next thing to do will be get the car up on jack stands to pull the K frame out and weld on a skid plate which will kill it from moving very far if I needed the space

The black coupe is dad's hot rod project
30 Chrysler rumble seat coupe with a 366 GMC truck engine and a dana rear end with 411 gears
Dad is 81 years old and says this will be his last car he builds
So I told him he can just wheel and deal toy cars after this one
He agreed :)

How do you get the thing in there? Hold up the plastic and drive in?
