            that's one of several threads discussing how to keep defogging in race cars on the bf.c track section. jimmy has a somewhat better execution of your idea. keep in mind, these solutions are really mostly to provide defog, not really heat as you'd need in a street car on cold ne days like right now.

                    Quite a few haters in here. IIRC the stock heater is expensive as hell. Props for making your own solution. Also you can probably get flexible hose from McMaster-Carr to route the heat for use as defrosters or vents and what not. Would be similar to some race cars.

                        Why not do both OP? ROute the trans tunnel heat and run lines from your heater box.

                        Just looking at the single pic, you're going to need insulation. Foam board would probably work best. Also, find some real fans, and figure out a way to put them on some real electric motors, RC car electric motors may do the trick?
                        Like this cheap low power one: http://www.trossenrobotics.com/store...x?feed=Froogle
                        It seems to draw 1A with no load. Your load will be small, so under 5amps I'd guess

                        You need a resistor in line, because 12v will make that sucker scream

                                            Not a bad idea. I was trying to figure where I should pull air from, the cabin or the dead space where the blower motor usually is.

                                                Can I get a well lit picture looking into the front of the box? I have a suggestion - but need to draw it.

                                                        So far, all I can tell is that your google image search skills far exceeded your fabrication skills.
