[DeTomaso] A/C Rebuild - Vents

[tmshinro at aol.com]

 Gary,
If you experience anything like we had at the Summer Summit with temps in the 90s I think you'll miss air conditioning in your car.  I bet you had the air on in your VW :).  

I'm missing the rubber seal that goes around the steering shaft.   Before I stuffed some foam rubber in the gap the hot air from the radiator came in through the shaft hole giving me more hot air than I wanted at my feet.

I set up my own heaterbox from scratch:

I am not using the vents which are in the dash. I want to make some 
vents from scratch which look a little better which I will lasercutting 
from 6061 aluminum. Since I have no use for A/C (and it's a 100lbs 
lighter) I am working a circuit to control the flapper doors to have 
more control over distribution.

I also got some wemacs from a salvage aircraft place. With the wemacs I 
want to put a fresh air source near my face. There are times when it 
would be good to have heat on your feet and fresh air in your face. It 
would also be nice to have fresh air on your face with the windows up 
some times.
