Heaters for Hot Rods

I sometimes ask myself why I have roadster in snow country? Does anyone know anything about, or had any success with the Speedway "Mojave" universal heater?

I have a small heater in our 34 roadster,Vintage Air. Hot water type, Works great. Tryed electric type, no good.

I have an electric in my Beetle, and it does keep the window clear, but not much else.. My hotrod will have the Vintage air firewall mounted coolant/ hot water type

I wouldn't be without a heater in my cars, I like the vintage type, you can pick them up from Ebay for a few dollars, they usually hold water well and only need updating with a 12v fan, cheap computer fans are good also 12v motorcycle fans.

Here's a few i have restored

if your pretty handy you could probably butcher a late model heater and re-arange the heater core and fan.
just a thought

Most of them are to big i'm afraid, again look at computer water cooling rads, small but very efficient and quiet cheap.

Those look great. Nice job. I have located a vintage heater which I can repair and clean up, but boy does it seem to take up a lot of room.

You could always install these in the seats. Takes up 0 room.

neat pick up!

Am putting a Mojave heater in my Plymouth wagon. not mounted yet but it will be above the trans tunnel and directing the warm air to both sides of the floor.
