IT"S DONE restoring 52'' Strobehawk S4 DISPLAY MODEL SOLD

[chief1562]

Finally getting around to finish this from last summer.

Got some parts from Pete.

Power supply, Tubes & cruise light, inner lens's And mirrors. And Strobehawk label. But bought a new one off fantoy and will be taking it over to my repro man to have a new set made.

Weren't in the best of shape so I looked around and found some new inner lens's and had some new mirror sections built.

All I need to do now is rivet the mirrors together and install them.

Also install the power supply.

Little hint has to what else is going in it are frt. and back strobes, Ally lights.

Will have available either all Blue, all Red, or Red/Blue.

Will also has a new speaker bell and speaker.100W

Will get some more pictures as soon as it makes it in the house.Ok. The last 2 pictures are the mirrors and they have been replaced.

If you're wondering why there is no reflection it's because it is mirror plate aluminum and there is a protective film on them.

New labels and designations.

[Pete L.]

Looking great, Paul

Check your PMs.

 

[chief1562]

Well it's finally done. And for sale

This thing is for display only unless someone finds a way to weatherize the center t protect the power supply.

Still needs 1 new label or can put on the ones pictured above

Every color I have comes with it unless someone need a set of domes. See above post for the rest of the lower lenses.

Everything has been wet sanded and polished.

As brand new set of feet for it and has switch box.

Like to thank everybody who was involved in helping me obtain the parts.

 

[Sparky_911]

Looks good.  To weatherize it you could take the center plastics from an old "all light" streethawk and black them out...just a suggestion....nice clean looking bar though.

 

[chief1562]

Thanks. Good info there.

I'm not going to worry about it.

Who ever buys it can do it if they want to actually mount it for operational use.

 

[EHFD_Tower_751]

WOOOOOOOOWWWWWW!!!!!!!

That came out really good. i remember when u told me about doing a strobehawk, now that looks bad ass

 

[Hoser]

Looks good Paul, I got one a couple of year's back from a USAF ambulance, sold and shipped it to Eric. Cruise lights are pretty cool.

 

[Storm4200]

love the cruise lights. the mirrors seem to be pretty effective. i like the R/B the best 

 

[chief1562]

Anybody think they are to bright.(cruise lights) Besides Pete L which I think I should.

Supposed to be 21watts, got regular back up bulbs which are 26watts.

 

[Pete L.]

Paul and I were discussing the cruise lights and I mentioned that they were a little bright in his video.

I had always thought that they should be the brightness of tail lights not brake lights. I think the guy

I bought the StrobeHawk from (and sold the parts to Paul) had used them as wig-wag flashers.

Back when I built a bunch of MX7000 tow bars, I had used the #1156 bulb for brake/turn and the

#67 bulb for tail lights (10-12 watts).

-Pete

 

[chief1562]

Yeah agree with you Pete. When the cruise lights are on almost drowns out the strobes.

If and when I sell this thing I am changing them out to that little 67 bulb.

 

[Richard P]

Looks great! And i cant help but notice the strobe lenses. They are mafe by star. I have several in stock in all colors. Theyre for the rubber base strobe that dominion use to produce

 

[chief1562]

Shhhhh!!! keep quit Richard.

All that was needed was to match the ends and dermal the little ridge for it fit over the light.

 

[chief1562]

Well It's been along time to get these new labels so Tony tsquale could finally get it shipped to him.

I think this was one of my better restores.

Here's the new labels.

 

[tsquale]

Looks fantastic, Paul! I am very excited to add this to the "Hawk" collection to complete it with one of each variants. Now I just need a red based Firehawk!

 

[chief1562]

Here you Tony  Just need to find the right label.

 

[tsquale]

I have thought about doing that but I'd really like an original
