You could get a welding tank full of Nitrogen and fill it with that, no humidity, no oxygen to react and age it.

It would be in stasis, preserved for eons.

The older I get the more OCD I’ve become. I don’t understand it. Sometimes I have to stop myself and say who cares. 

Detroit has some bubble cars 

 

Ok, so I have some issues. Now that that’s out of the way....

I bought the car pocket above for $265 shipped. It’s really a big ziplock bag.  I bought a 9x16 single carport from Walmart online for $90 shipped. And a 11x17 tarp from HB for $15. A mini powered dehumidifier off Amazon for $40. So Total $410. 

I lucked out all the bricks the car is sitting on due to the construction behind me I got them all free. Just asked the lead contractor and he said have it. Was able to squeeze out a 8’6” x 18’6” pad. 

I started to use pvc as a frame.  Only building just half of what I needed out of pvc I was at $53 and it was way to flimsy. I would have cost me $150 in pvc all said and done. So the carport was perfect. To fit the Z I just didn’t use all the parts. Drove the Z right in. 

In the AM humidity was 70%  checked in the afternoon it was down to 40%!  The harbor freight tarp is to protect the car pocket. After a heavy rain I’ll need to check for any water intrusion.

Now I have space in my garage to work. 

 

You don't have issues, you have solutions. Looks good to me!

That's a lot of bricks. Very nice solution, keep us updated

Looks good,  how does the dehumidifier drain the water it extracts?

It’s got a small tank in it. I empty it every few days. Should be less now. It does have an auto shut off feature too. 

First heavy rain storm nice and dry.

Your telling me! I think I calculated 3500 lbs worth. 

Mine too. I usually set on 2 hours every morning about 6am then once more after lunch.  Fills the 2.5 gallon container everyday.

Amazing to me how much water it pulls.

Holy cow that is a lot of water. My tank is only about 16oz. You might have more hummidty than we get though. 

 

16 oz I can wring out of my hair.

It's humid as a mother up here in between the mountains. Very little air flow.

Ah yeah that will do it. We usually have nice breezes but lots of rain because of it. Speaking of rain another round now...
