Works on the principle of evaporation of water and air movement (ram effect). Designed to hang at the top of a partially open window, probably wouldn't work on your roadster very well.

Yes it does, I have Air Speed bookmarked on my computer... I have been following the Hebrod build for a while and talked some with the builder... What an awesome Hot Rod... I will definately be using a few of his ideas on my build...
Just an update on my project... Bought this nice set of 35 Ford wires the other day...

I love the whole look of the brown bug. He really did a fantastic job on all the elements.
