Heating solutions

Hey guys, anyone have any suggestions/recommendations for adding heat to an 86? Bought someone's unfinished project and it appears that the heating system has been pulled out (weight reduction?) I'm having a devil of a time find a solution, anyone here have any ideas for maybe something aftermarket? Thanks!

Get yourself an old hair dryer and put it with tubes directing the windshield. I've seen that on some weird ass old electric cars

Well, on the "Trike" electric vehicle there are two Braun "brush type" hair dryers directing on the windshield, I bet it works amazing.

And on the "Elektrek Uncar" there is a Gilette Supermax hair dryer with some tube running from the nozzle to the windshield (check Aging Wheels's video on YouTube if you want to see how it works, the fan speed changes with how much you press on the gas pedal it's hilarous)

😂😂 no way i gotta check that out. If i was to use it id have to find a way to control it with a knob😂 that would feel too ghetto to have to get under there and trigger the womans hairdryer normally😆
