Default Installing four horns

Installing a switch in the center console and the dixie horns under the hood with a compressor.

The horns will need to face down so water doesn't get in them incase I get stuck in the rain some day...

This is the kit: http://www.geocities.com/TelevisionCity/7169/CON99.html

Any recommendations on where to mount, etc...

Thanks,

Kevin

Hi K76,
May I please encourage you to take the money for the horns and give it to a charity in your hometown.
Regards,
Alan

Now all you need is the Rebel flag painted on the roof of your car...

Oh come on, we've always joked out it, so I thought hmmmmmmm this will be a hoot...

I promise I'll remove them for the next owner though :-)

I think we've provided you with the gist of how we feel [most of us, anyway] about putting 'musical' horns on a C3 Corvette. America is a free country and you can do what you want with your own car. That being said, your car is a Corvette, and we think it would be totally out of character for a C3 to be honking "Dixie" behind some Ford Escort on the way home from work. We're just sayin'.....
