    That is very doable. Good idea!

    I take it your previous car had A/C, Moose?

    I would be tempted to find a way to duct this into the stock HVAC plumbing, to use the car's blower to pull air through the cooler.

    No air con last car... this box "Air Conditioner" is just a fun project since a lot of people have an "s" model with no air conditioning. Thought it would be neat to make a simple project that works that others could try. There are many designs for available if you google "DYI Air Conditioner" .

    Just got two more fans, and a Cigarette lighter 12v plug. Weekend experimenting i guess.

    Not so ambitious to start plumbing in the vents. Lazy mad scientist.
