when you're done with it, can you turn it into a blimp?

I was thinking of painting on some windows and tires so it would look like a Airstream. My wife calls it the Fiat bounce house. The best thing about it besides constant air circulation is that there is no structure to damage the car in the event of high winds. My neighbor ended up with a portable garage wrapped around his 67 Camaro.

I wasn't sure that my shop could be completed this winter so I put my restored Fiat Spider inside of an Outdoor Car Capsule. their propaganda is good, but their product is not. We have had the driest winter ever,( actually called an extreme drought), yet this P.O.S. Car Capsule is full of water. Rusty brake rotors, all of the underhood aluminum that I bead blasted is covered in white corrosion and the canvas top is covered with mold inside. The car was waxed and dried and stored with the windows cracked as per the instructions. They claim that the air circulation keeps it dry, but it seems that due to the design, the moisture gets inside and can't escape. There isn't really a way for he air to blow thru. My other car was parked on a car trailer with a cover on it and I'd perfectly fine. Thank goodness my new garage/shop was just completed! If anyone wants a deal on a 22' outdoor Car Capsule let me know. It might be OK inside a dusty shop ar barn but definitely no good outside.
