Thread: Cheep heat for the model A

Tweet

It didnt take long after buying this car (see avitar) to realise that the builder, back in the 80s, only owned a few tools. a hammer, a screwdriver, and a swiss army knife. oh ya... and a stick welder and cutting torch. he had some good ideas, but not much real fabrication skill. the heater he had was home built from (I suspect) the donor MustangIIs heater motor and core + a fabricated tin box under the seat. it wasn't mounted to anything, and the heater motor growled like crazy so I pulled it out today for some TLC....... I ended up building a whole new case out of aluminum sheet. the first shot is the POs case (note the air intake opening which looks to have been made with a can opener. oh well.. he did the best he could with what he had to work with I guess. someone will probly' say similar things about mine someday
