Heaterbox Pipe Passthrough - Reinforce vs Remold

Short version is you now have heat. :D
Anything is better than being cold.

I decided I'm going to get one of those little electric/ceramic room heaters and mount it up under the dash blowing down.
Then I'll wire it out to the front bumper and put a socket for the electric cord up under the bumper out of sight.
Then on real cold mornings I can plug it in and go back in the house.
The other day all the windows were frozen, and the doors were darn near frozen closed so I took one out and set it on the floor.
10 min later all the windows were defrosted and it was probably 80 or so inside the car.
That made starting the car and warming it up WAY more tolerable when it was freezing A cold out. :D
I park right by an outlet on the house anyway, and I frequently have to take off for stuff in the mornings.

You northern guys might consider something like this if you drive your classic year round like I do.
Definitely not a bad idea. I was considering getting a 12v heater from harbor freight if I couldn't get this one sorted out soon.
12V Auto Heater / Defroster with Light

My recommendation to improve your idea is make sure the heater has analog controls and get a Belkin Wemo switch on your outlet. That way you can plug the car in the night before and turn it on without even leaving the house. If low temperature interferes with the switch you can always cover it with one of those insulated hose bibbs/spigot covers.
