Ben, a panel might be a good idea for your /6 conversion parts (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

So for a change of pace and not having a lot of free time for sanding/painting I did a
a small project for a bit of fun. I modified the horn bracket to accept a banjo horn like a few of the real GT ran. I was lucky to stumble upon this one for a reasonable price (to me). The prices on these horns can be ridiculous. Found it on a Sweden based car parts site. Tested and functions as it supposed to. It certainly sounds different from the stock horn. I need to modify the “flat” area on the chrome bumper where the rubber spacer meets the body. I will make a slot on the bumper bracket for the trumpet end to slide through. Shouldn’t be too bad to do. Wel’ll see :-) Attached thumbnail(s) |

Next weekend I’ll make a patch and weld it up. Made sure I had clean metal to weld to
and no further perforations. Certainly going to be a challenging area to sort out. Attached thumbnail(s) |

I'm going to be hitting that same spot on both sides of mine soon. I think I'll sit back and wait while you show me how it's done first. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif)

It will be extremely nice to wrap this project up and drive it out your way Brent.
To cruise about Big Sky country would be awesome. I only had a taste of it exiting Yellowstone near Roosevelt’s Arch. Be more than happy to let ya have a go! |

Our house is only 1 hour from Roosevelt Arch and you are welcome to stay in our guest room. A cruise over the Beartooth Hwy is a must! |
