Well, I may be wrong, but I'd hate to be right.
The plastic Tri-bar headlights part # 90103 came in today. Beautiful pieces but heavier than the stock glass types. Weighed 15 ounces as compared to the glass type at 12.10 ounces. These are the clear 5-3/4 size bulbs with a Halogen fixture. They may be brighter and all, but that is not what I'm trying to achieve at this moment.
I'm sending them back unless I can sell them to a local guy that needs them.

So what do these four things have in common with each other?

item #3

item #4

You guys remember that I am fabricating a working Horn ring out of Aluminum. This will compliment the aluminum stock appearing steering wheel.
Here are the four items getting to know each other closely.

so far, this central hub and cross spoke which makes up for the bulk of the 1-1/2 Lbs or 24 ounces in weight on the stock horn ring is now 6 ounces in Aluminum as you see it here.
Once I get the outer ring itself (not pictured) rolled welded and trimmed to shape, it should be a fraction of its pot metal cousins weight.

here's a side profile mug shot of the alloy piece awaiting welding.

Here's a side profile mug shot of the usual suspect (STOCK) pot metal ring center.

Awesome! Art in process!

You are a true ARTIST, sir.

Thank you. The true art will be in the art of deceit depending on how good I hand polish the finished piece to look like plated pot metal.

I'd be happy to test that horn ring and wheel on the 64.

You have horns or thorns.? LOL.
That car there is too quick and loud to even need horns.

By the way, GM plastic horns from an 80's Oldsmobile are a lot lighter than the steel stamped Mopar types, and just as loud also.

I'll let you know how it works out on my mule first.

So far with at least 20 miles or so of hard LIE crawling traffic, my aluminum exhaust has not melted like the wicked Witch of the West.

maybe something broke out of it.

Found this junk at a recent club meeting, I threw them away

I have since converted that horn ring into a Bear trap. Snaps closed when you step on it.LOL.

Center ring on stock hub

center ring on Lt Wt horn ring. Taking shape and going to the welder.

Some Lt weight stuff that I could not built is coming from Chicago and Detroit. Stay tuned.
