Default Empty Space?!?

I have a train horn I want to put in my Camaro and have realized I am short on space. The horn itself takes up about a 1ft x 6in x 6in area. It has to stay mostly dry. Do any of you guys know of any secret hollow areas in this car (on the outside of course) to put it? I have looked under the front of the car and see a few plastic pannels and was too lazy to look behind them Any suggestions?

Why not go for a Coast Guard fog horn mounted on the roof. Good for a 5-10 mile radius.

If you do that, where are you going to put the hair-dryer intake blower?
Are you serious about a train horn? Save up some money and be prepared to pay a hefty ticket from a cop when you blast away.
And also dry cleaning bills for all the crap you scare out of everybody within a half mile radius!

Yea, why not just put a roof mounted bazooka while you're at it? ;-)

Anyways, fire up that train horn and post an audio clip!

Scaring the s--t out of people would have to be the main reason for it lol. I know it's probably not legal but niether is doing donuts... Its a car designed for fun to me. I'll deffinitly get videos up once I get it in. I can put the one gallon storage tank in the trunk/hatch and the compressor is tiny so that won't be bad, its just the horn... I guess I have to look behind the front bumper and grill deeper. If anyone has anymore ideas, let me know.

Lol, I would but its not just as easy as plugging it up to electricity. Its air powered... gotta run a compressor into a tank into a solenoid. I only want to wire it once.
