Close up of the original horn when you get the opportunity please Pat. Yours looks a lot like the ones I have, not the Bluish purple that guys are presenting these days..

Thanks Pat, perfect. Violet... matches my OE stash. and the new repro too flat and dark. Many are selling "blueish ones!

I have to rebuild the horn as it worked 1 time:-( I understand somebody makesthe replacement rivets?

Just a few more bits and pieces to bolt on, but I thought I would put the air cleaner on as I don’t believe it’s been on for over 40 years.
Thanks
Pat

Did you try turning the tuner "bolt" while hitting it with power??

I turned it, but not while hitting the horn button. I will give that a try.
Thanks

This is my first Mopar preservation. I have a fair amount of GM cars that I have preserved, but I have to say this fan shroud looks perfect, whereas most of the GM ones have a broken flange or cracks. Hard to believe this is 56 years old.
