[T3] Yes HEAT, No Smell

["Randy Hougham" <hougham@indianvalley.com>]

<x-flowed>Well, I got it!

Thanks for the help everyone. I last wrote about this Jan 31st. I figured 
out that the stuffing was just cotton. I tried to light it with a match and 
it is flammable. I thought that it might be heat resistant or something. 
It's not. So I just washed up some cotton rags, cut them into strips and 
wrapped them around the wire tubes that are inside of the heat boxes. After 
I had several layers I used some fiberglas building insulation (it can't 
come in contact with the air you breathe) to fill the remaining space in the 
heater boxes. We took it for a drive and now we've got heat that smells like 
towels fresh from the dryer.

As the 3 Stooges would say, "Success!"

Next thing to tackle is the wet carpet. The carpet in the front is soaking 
wet. Is there a place where water would leak in if the car is just sitting 
in the drive and it rains or the snow melts on it? The door and side window 
weather stripping are old but not in terrible shape.

Thanks
Randy
