Get it done

Yall guys are making this too complicated, lets actually get it done instead of adding tripple turbos, and solar shenanigans

Plan A) Basic, redneck approach

1) Get a 12v oscillating fan from walmart that plugs into the cig adapter.
2) Coil Copper tubing behind it
3) Use an aquarium pump to circulate ice water through the coils
4) Draw the ice water from a super insulated ice box (like the orange gatoraide coolers)
5) Make sure there is an emergency 6 pack in the ice box at all times

Plan B) Nicer approach

1) Use the car's existing blower motor to drive the cool air, and use existing ac controls
2) Stick a copper coil in the duct work, or in the blower motor assembly
3) Circulate the water from the icebox from the trunk, rout it down below the vehicle near like a fuel line, and install a heat exchanger (small heater core) inline to keep the ice water (or whatever fluid) cooler, longer.

You could even put the heat exchanger up near the grill or in a fender well, anywhere it will get cool air.


You shouldn't need to add ice but every few days
