Aerodynic fixer-upper

I got this bar in a few months back. I believe it came from a lot I bought in Texas.
Finally got around to working on it. As you can see, it's well-used. I think they were almost ready to plant corn in all the dirt inside. & the extra speaker cover ventilation is...odd.
I took the domes off last night & got a lot cleaned, but, here's what I'm dealing with lol-

Hmm some kind of pre-emption device in the center maybe?

Nice, Let me know when you need domes for it and be sure to save the red alley inserts out of it as they are no longer produced! Nice grab

A little Simple Green cleaner and you're ready for display!

Oh, and corn prices suck so bad I haven't planted any for 3 years...try soybeans.

Mine looked just like that when I got it. Wet sanding and PlastX will do amazing things. it's going to look great !

It needs a new speaker grille.

Got most of the inside together. Still need to clean the gears & get all the hidden dirt. Also added a 537 flasher & a cable.

Here it is...as finished as it's going to get for now. I had one red dome I re-made last year & used it on the driver's side. & re-made the passenger side one also when the glue started failing while wet sanding. I ended up breaking 5 out of 8 panels. They were a bit brittle to begin with & the small amount of super glue (I think) at the bottoms did it.
I wanted a blue dome for the passenger side, but, don't have the pieces to make one. So I went with red & added a rear outer amber panel.
It still needs some work, maybe a belt & I get some outer rotator shudder. Domes also need some more attention.
I also changed both the speaker covers front & rear & went with a 'fully' perforated front cover.

Was thinking about doing a LAFD type bar, but couldn't remember the dome config...

Looks much much better. Very nice bar !

Best thing I found that eliminates outer rotator shudder is well placed amounts of Vaseline (yes, you read that correctly). It will not dry out like white grease and lubricates well. I used it in my all my Aeros and the outsides never shuddered after.

I tried sil-glyde on it, but just a very small amount, little change.
Forgot about vaseline though, it's a bit thicker.

Mike lafd setup is basic rear amber flashers,front steady red and red rotators.
Don't forget to use par36 bulbs model 4414 /18W for all end lights.
All options wired seperated.
Sometimes rear amber flashers were wired alternative,simulative or steady amber without flashers.
Even see on aero california bars rear flashers wired seperated on each 537 small flasher model so each par36 bulb wired on each flasher.
