I know there is a factory defogger out there for 67's and 68's but they are near impossible to find and even harder to actually buy one. So does anyone have ideas for fabricating one? I'd appreciate any imput

subscribing. Have you thought about one of those little vintage air electrical heater boxes?

There was a quality aftermarket kit posted up here on PT. I searched but could not find it...

Edit: this is the only one I found: http://www.frostfighter.com/prt2600.htm

Thanks Ron, I have seen that one before and is the one I'm leaning to since there are no better options. I just wanted to keep it as inconspicuous as possible.

I seem to remember a car from the '70s that used a little fan set up under the parcel tray that blew air onto the back window. I want to say it was some kind of Japanese import but can't for sure recall. Maybe it warrants walk about at the wreckers.

A quick google search shows a few domestic options from the 60s &70s.

That was my initial thinking as well. Any fan will circulate the warm air from the front and defrost the window. You just need to figure out how to hide it. :)

Could have sworn that fan was an option on Camaros/Novas.

But that grid that Ron posted is what I've been looking at for a while. It looks like the "bus bars" get mounted to the window and aren't as thin as modern cars, which is kind of ugly and disappointing...But I guess you gotta deal with it for safety...
