An ahooga trick for Halloween trick or treaters
To make Halloween a little more exciting for the trick or treaters (we get 100’s), I put my ‘55 up near the steps with a dummy hanging out from under the hood.
Then I rigged up a bosch headlight relay to my ahooga horn, I used an old extension cord to trigger the relay from in the house.
On the other end of the extension cord I attached a remote starter switch.
It’s a real rig, but it was quick, cheap and effective. The best ones were teenagers who would act tough and poke at the dummy, I’d trigger the horn and they’d really jump. For a while I had some people hanging out in the street, just waiting for another person to get suprised. If it looked like I took a couple years off their life, I’d give them some extra candy. I had a strobe light flashing at the car, I think this helped build a tense mood. I’ll show it in another post.
