[Roadsters] Air Conditioning

[Linda J]

Get the 12 volt blanket for heat.
For cooling, drive faster.

in the IN-IL-WS area who know him lost track of him, and his former E-mail
address (stan at indy.net) no longer works.  You lose some of the already limited
luggage space, because some of the equipment goes into the trunk.

happier.  Or consider an upgrade from Wife 1.0 to Girlfriend 1.1.  Might be
cheaper.

>> Now don't hate on me for this question; it comes because I really like my
wife and she'll be more likely to make long journeys in the roadster if it has
more creature comforts. Personally the wind in my face is enough for me but
she's not quite as enthused.  I intend to put in seat warmers during the
upholstery phase which will increase the comfort during early spring and fall
driving.  If I could install air conditioning it would be a big plus for the
Arizona summers.  Anyone ever attempted this?  I'm a LONG way from any of this
but since attending the meet in Williams Saturday I'm ready to start the
planning process.  My car is basically sound but needs everything.  I figure
that if I'm taking it apart to re-build it I may as well make it as
comfortable as possible.  Thanks for any help.
