Re: 1969 project shortie

Got the paddle valves all plumbed and working. These things work great. I read a lot of different opinions on them, I'm happy as can be with them. Also got the manual pull valve for the train horn mounted and plumbed.

Re: 1969 project shortie

Wow that horn was so loud it was knocking things off the shelf behind the truck.
Lol. I wish I had one of those every time I see someone on a cell phone driving down the road not paying attention.

Re: 1969 project shortie

I once looked under the hood of a Chevelle at a car show when the owner set the horn off by remote ,sounded just like that .I voted for the Ford parked next to him just for that ,scared the hell out of me.

Re: 1969 project shortie

That's funny, I doubt it was a real train horn tho. These things are massive , no where to mount on a car. These are actual nathan airchimes. Around 160db
