Hairnet from The Forum That Must Not Be Named sent me a couple of 60's Delco horns for the Pontiac.
They sound quite alright after a bit of adjustment.

Re: What did you do today?
Getting somewhere with it now. Have untangled the mess that was the left hand corner.

Re: What did you do today?
Started work on the guts of the radio because the parts I had ordered arrived.
Whoever designed the wiring layout was either deranged or on crack.
I have a headache now.

Re: What did you do today?
It dries really hard like an enamel, and the wrinkles aren't that pronounced. It was still not fully dry in that picture.

I got the rest of it to come up nicely, if it takes a second run I'm not overly upset, I know what to look for in the reaction now.

Re: What did you do today?
I waved my hot air gun over it carefully like a hairdryer until I saw a reaction begin.
I think I may have overheated one section. I'll see this afternoon if it all flakes off. If it does, I'll rub it all down again and redo it. Thankfully it's not a huge surface area like a dashboard.
