I started a new project with a red Firehawk lightbar.

First step was to find a frame in NOS shape.
A paint shop made the NOS black frames in RAL3000 fire-red.

Labels are reproductions. The warning sticker is originally from the frame.

First reflectors:

In the meantime I worked on the domes.
They have only scratches, but no cracks or sun/ heat cracks. First pics are before cleaning.

There are still some scratches, but...

Status quo:
center part with amber half 14 dome (yes this option is correct)
I will work with some flashers for the lower deck lights.

That looks excellent! I've never seen the half dome as a rear filter before, I'll have to find one. Are there special brackets for it?
