Dipping wasn't perfect
Horn cover from my 31 Town Sedan. Seems there might have been an air pocket when they dipped it.

Re: Dipping wasn't perfect

Re: Dipping wasn't perfect
I have seen this in several original unrestored horns! When they were dipped an air pocket formed and that area remained bare metal.

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

Re: Dipping wasn't perfect
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.. Steve Becker Berts Model A Center |

Good point Steve - important perspective on the wonders of Henry's accomplishment.

Re: Dipping wasn't perfect
And Ford didn't even make there own horns, so there was a lot of dipping going on around the country in those days. :-))))
