I was worried about the electrical load being put on the alternator etc. I agree with you guys using the resources available with the hot engine coolant would be best.
A couple rubber heater hoses, a couple holes in the fire wall, a few mounting brackets and I can be done.

The 5000 heater looks good. I know Vintage air makes some good compact heaters too. There heaters have options for the door panels like the 5000. The ones with vent holes to channel the heat with tubes to the floor/feet are what I'm leaning towards.

I don't drive the cobra when it's super cold. I was wanting to add some comfort for my wife. I know if she is comfy then she will be able to enjoy some later season and earlier spring drives. I'll bundle up and be fine in any temp..I just hate seeing my wife uncomfortable or my daughter missing out on some drives.

There is always those hand and foot warmer packs..ha ha ..


Thanks for the advice guys..
