Horns take more juice than gauges. Most horns had a horn relay so all of it didn't have to run through the horn button. . Places like J C Whitney sued to sell ceramic based ones in lots of sizes. I got one for my son's Studebaker to run the heater. I think this would work

Time for an "Artsy pic". 8)

Yeah, the "total timing" thing didn't work out. We did everything according to procedure but.......
It fell flat on its face. Put it back to initial timing. :(

Not much done these last few months on the car.
Today it did get an official spare tire mounted to a matching wheel. Just gotta make a bracket to bolt it to. :)

Keep at it man :)   Wish I had room for a spare!

My spare is a can of fix-a-flat and AAA.  ;D
Tighten it up til it strips, then back it off a quarter turn

It's the hot time of the season. Less cars show up at the shows.
I need to measure for a electric pusher fan, good thing I already have the wire routed.

Also need to start modifying a C-clamp to get the door hinges apart.

 How about one of the late 60's inflatable spares that came in the camero firebird, mustang cougar cars.

It also came with a metal air bottle, anybody know if you can refill one of those ?????

I got great news via text today.

Been waiting for this for awhile, cant wait.  ;D

Be sure to bring your camera, we want pics ;D
Spending time with my grandkids gets in the way of finishing my car but I don't regret it!

Heres a Pontiac for ya Rattiac ;D    I stumbled back across it 2days ago moving my Chevy parts around in the basement. Dad found it in an old silage trash pit back in the early 80s. I had to sand and blast the scum/rust off, it had a dead coon stinking on the seat. About gagged doing it. He straighted and painted up for little sis, she must have peddled a couple hundred miles up and down the sidewalk.  I redone it for her in 2004, she brought it over so her kids wouldn't beat it up ;)  I put it in my living room  :)

I've heard reports of photobucket not allowing 3rd party links anymore.
Mine haven't been affected "yet" but this next week I'll be converting all the pics over to attachments.
I liked the bigger pics to show more of the details people need to help in thier builds.
So you'll have to register/log on this awesome site to see the attachments.

Sorry and thank you for viewing my build over the years.
There's still plenty more to come.
The next phase is just around the corner. 8)
