<VV> aftermarket rear defrost?

[Charles Morgan]

If you have a coupe or sedan and you've built a rear shelf (like many 
people do for speakers), it's easy to add a couple defroster ducts (I 
used ShopVac nozzles--very cheap and works well).  To get air to the 
ducts, I mounted a 1-1/4" hose fitting to the "blower assembly" (see 
Fig 2, page 15-3 of the '65 manual).  Hose runs from the new fitting 
to a tee, and from the tee to the ducts.   No need to worry about 
controls, since air goes to the ducts whenever the heater blower 
motor is on.  Since this uses a small amount of air that would have 
gone to the front, this works best with a high volume blower motor.
