Cheap, simple defroster/defogger

[beertestr]

Ok, Lemon's car needs a simple window defogger, in case we experience rain again. All I need is a heater core, and a blower motor, no mode doors or any of that crap. I'm going to mount it above the steering column, maybe center of dash area (assuming I had a dash), and hook it to a fused switch, 1 speed, full blow. I've seen some electric only, but I figure a couple of coolant lines is not a big deal.

What vehicles should I be looking for in the boneyard? I'm thinking 70's trucks, maybe old CJ's?

Thoughts?

Little electric heater from harbor freight that plugs into cigarette lighter.

I was thinking something along those lines as well.

Yeah, there are a ton of electric options, and might go that way, but there's all this hot coolant.....

I'm actually thinking, heater core and a pancake fan.

Pass the exhaust tubing through the cabin to create an exchange/radiating heater. Just make sure there are not chances of a leak!

Ok, what is the story here?

Once there was a perfectly good old cop car. Then someone thought it'd be nice to have a LeMons car. Unnecessary parts were removed to make a stupidly heavy car 400# lighter. This is what's left of the unnecessary dashboard and HVAC module aka 75#. More wiring will come out as I get around to it.

And then the sun shined down on the pretty butterflies and and everybody was happy except some guy named Loofis



Screw Loofis and his grumpy ass

I bought a little chinese 12v heater with fans off eBay.

I'll see you there in October. I'm building a Rolls Royce for it.

Yup, had them do the cage, floor, and other misc stuff.

Starting to lean toward the 12v electric heaters. Darko, how's the flow on the heater fans? If I go this route, we'll just point one at the windshield right in front of the steering column.

Below is my car.
