After the initial message, I weren't paying much attention to this one. But I never delete one of my bud Smitty's messages without reading it. Why ya say??  Because regardless of how he describes it, there WILL be some sage advice in Smitty's responses. And I weren't wrong either. 

I have had opportunity to partially disrobe while driving in a Vair with a properly maintained heater system. In my last Monza, and in Eric's as well. (Just the sweater or jacket, get your minds out of the gutter).

BTW, during rainy test miles on the EUM, I had to turn on the defroster to keep the window clear (no T-Stat Pans on here in summer) and the new hoses from Lon, High output Blower fan from NAPA, and clean duct and sheetmetal cleared the window just as quickly as my 00 Ranger waterpumper. I anticipate warm dry, non-smelly heat this winter after I put the pans back on.

IS it some work to clean your shrouds, fix your oil leaks (if you have any)be sure your hoses are good and such?? 

Well, it is.  But you will have your passengers,as well as Volkswagen Beetle fans amazed at the amount of clear, dry heat the Vair motor puts out, and how quickly.
