heated window tape?
« on: February 23, 2006, 04:39:14 PM »

Hey guys - I want to remove my heater, but still keep my windows defrosted. Where can I get that heated tape like new cars have? Also - for those who have removed their heaters - do you miss the heat? Is it worth it to remove it on a street car? The winters aren't long here in Arkansas, and i like the way the engine bay looks without the blower motor and hoses. Also i want the room under the dash to hide the electronics.   what are your opinions? thanks -Evan

if you like to cruise at night a little heat to take the chill off is nice i like driving with the window down and the heat on.

Yeah, that's true, but around here during "cruise season" it's usually 70F at night. And I can get one of those little mojave heaters for spring and fall cruises and winter driving. With my other cars I've had, I never used the heater, but I've never been brave enough to take it out, either!

first there will be a lot of heat from the headers ,esp.a big block in a a-body. i'am using a rear window defogger from a 68 charger and running a duct to the right side header to draw heat from.  Smiley

the later darts came with rear window defrost, im not talking about the blower type, the kind that is in the glass. i could have had one but decided against it. maybe some dusters an dart sports had it too. poke around the junkyard.
