got some for my truck and was wonderin if anyone else had em. I think ill just put a small tank on the truck somewhere (under the hood maybe) like one of those portable air tanks and either just refill it occasionally or put one of those small on demand pumps on there.

Had them on the Mazda.... Its kinda fun.....but the air supply is a little tough..... you could just use an air tank and refill it when you loose juice....

i have a little one on the red truck.. i plan on getting train horns for it and my jimmy.. the question becomes were to mount them on the red truck. its so low to the gound that i know ill hit them cause they are huge.. the jimmy is getting them right under the hood mounted were my battery and ecu use to be.. then the tank and compressor are going to be tucked up near my rear bumper were my charcoal canister use to be.. lol.. as far as pitting chrome there isnt much you can do besides tryin to buff it out. or sand it down and give it that nice brushed aluminum look..

I see the horns as a awesome addition to any ride.

HaHaHa awesome video
You can pick up those Train Horns at most Big Rig dealerships. They are a combination of 3 air horns put together. A lil over a hundred bucks

My train horns with a small tank will only get 1 good hit out of it. I would suggest either getting a bigger tank or go with a compressor. I had a big tank on mine and would just refill it when I needed to. I could get quite abit of sound offs before I had to refill it.

think i can get those re-chromed?

SURE !!! You can get those re-chromed but I'm sure it would be cheaper to get a new set of horns.
A set of three horns. Are $129.00 here.

stuff something soft down the center and paint them black or something for now.. i wouldnt worry about the chrome to much.. take care of the rest of your body work first... lol

Wow, that is really pitted...

Try some Turtle Wax Chrome Polish first, see how much that helps. It won't too a lot for the pitting, but it'll shine the rest of it up nicely.

Rechroming is expensive. A quote to rechrome both bumpers and grille on my Continental is close to $1,300.00 plus shipping both ways.
