Long story short, I've had it w/ rostyles and want to go w/ Challengers (when I can afford them). While I'm at it, might as well build the Midget that never was. I figure a LE Midget should have Challengers, at least a 3.55 and a/c. Yes, I said it, air conditioning. Kelly wants a/c and I like to give my wife what she wants.
A conventional auto a/c system doesn't make sense for one of these, so I was thinking of running a unit powered off of an inverter. NO, not a window unit! Of course I would have to change the alternator.
I was thinking about taking the componants out of a dorm size fridge and building a custom unit that would either fit in the glove box area, in the radio console ( move radio to rear panel or in trunk w/ remote) or putting it in the trunk and have it blow through the rear panel. I've also been thinking of mounting an evaporator in the heater core box and using those vents.
Does anyone foresee any problem with w/ using this type of system (dorm fridge) in a moble application w/ an inverter? (ie, compressor gulping oil). Any other ideas? ( gas fridge from an RV or a 12 volt unit from something else?)
I need a new dash anyway, so I might experiment with B vents in the Midget dash.
BTW, NO OVERDRIVE or five speed !!! I will not cut this car! (O.K, I'll drill a hole or two for a/c, but that's it and I don't mind a rear end swap.)
Hopefully this will be the first of many posts on this subject. Project will progress as funds allow. I don't foresee ever getting a V8B or a Sebring nosed Sprite, so I might as well have the only Midget LE. From what folks say I've got a really solid car, so I might as well. She deserves it and my wife does too.
