Hi, Kyle,
Erin (No Quarter) made a great recommendation for creating a real heating system. Nebraska folks know what cold is! Down here in Nashville we rarely have more than a handful of single-digit days each year. Back when I used my 1965 Type 3 as a daily driver, I kept a 150-watt light bulb in an old saucepan, with its handle attached to a broom handle, underneath the oil pan. (I have no garage, only a carport.) It kept the oil warm enough that it didn't turn to Crisco in the cold, and allowed the stock heater to become warm after just a couple of blocks of slow driving. (It's always best to get moving to warm up, not just to sit there.) Still no toe-burner, but you could at least feel the warm coming through pretty promptly.

Hi all, With the coming of winter and my unfortunate losing of a garage, what are the best modifications to do to my 66 for daily driving of 6 mile trips in mostly city/suburban driving to stay safe and reasonably warm?
