Been hyped for this part of the journey, the siren is like the most iconic part of the whole car, I’ll never forget hearing it for the first time in Ghostbusters Afterlife, this is such a great video series to watch. I love it

A few years ago I built a Knight Rider replica. One thing I have learned is that if you plan to take it to car shows, you should have a separate battery in the back of the car to power the lights. You could use two marine batteries, that way when the car is parked, you can walk around the car show, and you can leave the lights on all day with no worries of the car not starting. At the end of the day you can just plug them into quick Chargers, or battery tenders. Hope this helps!

So, this was an actual real antique siren, and not a movie sound effect? I did not expect that.

great vid

i love this!

I have the same siren, if you would have used one switch for power, and one fore activating the siren, you'd have the wind down when deactivating the siren to sound like its winding down instead of a dead stop. unless you point this out in a later video... keep up the good work!!

@@smonstruo9307 in my ecto, I just use a simple toggle switch into the input for siren activation. I didn’t bother tying into the park kill.

Its the same, but it's the wrong year. Real car is a 1959 Cadillac Miller meteor, this is a 1962 Miller meteor. Same chassis, body, etc but wrong front and rear exterior. I'm making it a 1959 though

Man, this guy knows NOTHING about vehicle wiring! He doesn’t even know that the chassis and body are connected to the negative battery terminal.

Woah it is??? Oh that explains why the neg cable went to the chassis when I swapped the old motor! 🤩
