I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.

Re: Victor Morning Glory Horn Restoration Needed
I'm curious about the condition of the inside of the horn. Once it's on the machine that is about all you see. If the inside is nicer than the outside you may want to leave as is. Just a suggestion.

It's not a difficult project... Clean it off with acetone or alcohol, sand any rust off and paint it with black lacquer, use a gold metallic marker to redo the gold ribs and it's done. Then add a new decal.
