cheapest ways first.

1 beaded seats
2 mesh Lumbar support air flow seat covers customed w freezer gel packs.
3 Cool vests
4 homemade ice box air conditioners
5 Try driving in your socks. feet will be much cooler, and you will "feel" your gas pedal
6 a very small pillow under your right foot will cushion your heel from the firm floor.
7 Dampen one or two washcloths, and put them around your neck. squirt bottle w water refresh them w/o having to stop.
8 In higher yet heat/humidity; there is always the wet t-shirt.
9 If you are not a shorts person; uniform type pants are light weight...w a blend of cotton/ some polyester; won't stain when part of them gets wet.
10 PU sliding rear windows
11 a plastic or vinyl tint patch that statically stuck to the inside of your windows for sun protection.
12 suction cup type shades
13 a visor that holds many CD's, you can about double the length of your factory side visor

Here's the MEAT!!!

all metal 2-spd. trucker's fan.
buy a collaspsable clothes bar
Mount the fan so that the flow hits the right rear of your neck in your driving position.
