I might have said this before but this thing really needs to be throwing sparks with the camper top on it.

It would look like a spaceship I love spaceships.

The little fucker got me once too Pretty fucked.

I've taken off the camper... for now....... I also rolled the fenders with a bat to get a little less tire rub, and moar lower of course... but first:

So I went to an antique shop just walking around (been in and out of there a lot. They're huge) and walked past these...


They're old twin trumpet horns, aging somewhere between 1920-50. Everything I've seen suggests around the 30's, but there's a possibility its later then that. The low tone works great. The high tone trumpet has an internal short and works, but very intermittent. I don't want to burn it up so I'm thinking of dissecting it to see how it looks inside. The wire jacketing has fallen apart on both trumpets so I peeled it all off and covered the wireing in nice heat shrink tubing.*

After cleaning them up with a wire brush, they came out VERY nice.

I need to find a diagram for the 6V GM relay that it came with. I don't want to blow it up if it's any good. If I can get them both working 100%, I'll wire them in a series and run them on the truck. If not, I'll donate them to a rat rod project that's starting up.*

I also have finished repainting one of my two fender badges.

You can't really tell, but it's SLLAAAMMEDDD as far as these trucks go. I'm literally floating less then an inch above the bump stop. (Low profile, that is)

Yea my passenger side is slammed now, but not by choice hahaha
