I have a 57 T-Bird that came from the factory without a heater.  Where the heater would mount on the firewall, there is just a cover installed.  Where the blower motor attaches to a hole in the fender, that is capped off as well.  So I literally have nothing to start with.  I have had to drive the car to shows on cool mornings (Spring and Fall), and had to fight the battle of the windsheild fogging up. I have a couple questions for the masses.

Do you think I would kill some of the value of the car, by modifying / adding equipment that is not on the original gate receipt?

How expensive an undertaking do you think this will be?

It's kind of like the power steering.  My car doesn't have it, but it would cost me a boat load to install it, and then the question of altering the car from original equipment, come into play.

Thanks in advance for your thoughts.  There is no wrong answer, just varying degrees of right.
