Mine too. But it's not all shiny like yours...

So, how should I duplicate that effect when re-painting the horn, so I don't lose points!

I'm not after points, but I'm having mine powder coated. along with the headlight bar and the front apron.

Here is what I think is amazing......

During the peak of production in 1929 and 1930 they dipped 25,000 wheels, 20,000 fenders etc... etc....EACH DAY!!!

That's a lot of dipping.....

Also think that they made and Cadmium plated 115,000 lug nuts each day.....

Something to think about..
