Made this, works well.
Brings the heat to the front where its needed and can be tucked in my shirt for added comfort.

You should fix whatever is wrong with your heat. If your heat were working properly it would melt the shit out of that.

My ex had this setup on her '65 with a 36HP motor for years, before I fixed it to work like stock. It was a pool vacuum hose, but same idea... it plugged into the rear outlet just fine.
Of course, it made her smell like oil/VW, but since she worked in a machine shop, nobody noticed.

OMG man repair the heating system in the vehicle. My vehicles heaters all work. I could never use a contraption like that as I would have second degree burns.

When I finished taking care of my '66 heating system and seals I had to crack open a window in winter time or it would get too hot inside.
Fix what's wrong, or post it here instead: https://geniebelt.com/blog/there-i-fixed-it |

Heater will work better (and sooner) if the fan shroud flaps & thermostat are present.
The heaters in my two take at least 10 minutes to put out decent heat, but I don't have flaps/thermostats (Arizona).
