    65 horn rebuild

    I have a pair of horns from my 65 that I am not sure are the originals but need to have them rebuilt. Any suggestions on a good quality rebuilder? What is a reasonable price to expect to pay?

    Craig;

    I used Dennis Portka from Hamburg New York to do the horns on my 1965. He rebuilt one which was an original and supplied a second dated original to complete the set. As I recall it was a couple-or-three hundred bucks, probably because he supplied the replacement horn. I have the bill someplace in my file if you want the particulars... just let me know. His work was outstanding.

    He also sells those knock off wrenches... You will find him in Driveline most likely with an add for the wrenches. Also in Hemmings 716-649-0921

    Hope this helps.

    Joel

      Ron Goralski is equally competent and less expensive. Check the archives--there are a number of references to Ron and his work.

        I highly recommend Gary with Horn Works.
        He does a wonderful job at a reasonable price.
        Nice guy too.

          Gary did the horns for my 1965 and I found his workmaship to be excellent, fair price, quick turnaround and a pleasure to work with.

            I used Ron Goralski last year. On of the best guys to deal with. Horns looked brand new when I got them back, and the service was very fast.
