for an interior heater, I use a metal 5-gallon can (like a lacquer thinner can, which I have plenty of) I cut the top off and make a cross out of scrap chunks of 2x4. Mount a cheap light fixture to it, (cheapest one you can find at the hardware store) add a cord and a light bulb, poke 4 holes about an inch square around the bottom. Turn it over and plug it in and away you go. I use a 100-300watt bulb, whatever I can fit in there, and it keeps the moisture out of the car (long term storage) or keeps it a bit warmer in the winter. This is pretty cheap to make and pretty safe in the car. I keep one in my wife's 68 Mustang all winter and have never had a problem with it. I slide the pass seat fwd, tilt it fwd, and put the heater on the floor in the back seat. I used to keep one in my boat all winter long as well and never had any mold problems. I'm in Seattle so not quite as cold but real wet!
