[AMC-List] A Little Bling For Under The Hood

[AMC74Hornet@xxxxxxxxx (Mr. AMC)]

I finally finished shortening the snout of my aougha horn and installed
it in the car. I needed to shorten the snout 2 inches so I will have
enough room to mount my billet aluminum windshield washer tank and
billet radiator over flow tank. I had all the parts sand blasted and
painted the snout which was chrome with SEM self etching primer and then
with Eastwood's silver wheel paint and sprayed their diamond gloss coat
clear over it. It looks like pearl silver. The remaining parts I used
the same primer on and used a Prevall sprayer to paint them the original
body color (orange) and also cleared them with Eastwood clear. All the
parts were baked at 130 degrees in my dehydrator for a week to make the
paint rock hard. Nothing like having body and fender & modeling skills
for this restoration / modification job. The horn looks better than when
it was new when my father put it in his 69 Rebel. With the orange engine
compartment it looks factory. Now I need to make two 1/2 inch aluminum
spacers for the over flow and washer tanks to mount them. I have already
made 2 AMC R/W/B emblems for the tanks filler caps on a round orange
back ground.
