thanks guys,i appreciate it.
doug the whole bells and base will have to be painted,the only good chrome is the 3 round pieces,i paint with the anodized paint,mettalic,its a engine paint good up to around 600 degrees,if you click on the pics you can see the mettalic details,the only colors that i can get around here are the blue and yellow/gold,red,blue and purple,the blue and yellew/gold you can see above.
does anyone know who made these horns?ive never seen them before ,and there is no maker mark.
and eric i worked on your wheel today,ill post pics in the other thread.
and by the way really cool boat doug!!!,john

Not sure who made these, but I have a set on my red Lonestar Flamingo. They actually came off of my dad's '57 or so Bowman. And used a compressed air can like the small portable air horns use.

Harbor Frt sells a cheap airhorn kit for $20-$25, you can throw the plastic trumpets away and use the compressor and hose to run the vintage horns. BTW John, I never was able to find the right fitting for the bottom of the gold horns, so I drilled and re-tapped it to a size that I could find the fitting for. ;) They're ready to go now, but may end up on my Custom Craft instead. :laugh:

heck,ive been thinking it over,and i cant make my friends pay for these horns,you have been to good to me,im going to give them away,i would include free shipping but cant right now.
so i have to figure out a fair way to figure out who gets them.
ok,i think what ill do is write down a number from 0 to 9,the one that guesses the right number will win,ill run this until all numbers are picked,only one guess per person.
the guy who sent them to me paid $8.60 to send them to me,so thats what the shipping will be,if it goes over i will cover it.
besides they arent perfect,and i cant sell them if they are not.
i wrote the number down and put it in and envelope,and sealed it and put a sticker on it,when all numbers are picked...mickey mouse is kaput,lol,john
