Hmmm, good idea Eric.  I was just wondering what to do with that old glow
plug button.

I noticed that hole in the front fender on the lower right.  I think that it
was there for air conditioning hoses.  That could work.  But, it also looks
like I could just mount it below my bumper.  There's room for something big
and mighty down there.

Thanks for the idea.  I don't know about junkyards, but my wife used to
design luxury rail cars for a local company.  She promised to call around to
see if she could get lead on one.

You know a really powerful horn & light combo like that probably does more
than just give folks a reminder that they were rude - it probably makes them
quickly get the heck back in their lane for fear of a repeat blast!
