Hello fellow light enthusiasts!


This time I have something really special to share! I have been working on this one for a while now and it's finally finished. It took me a while to gather all the necessary parts, as I wasn't willing to accept just "any" parts if you know what I mean! I completely disassembled the lightbar, even the gear cage. Then I cleaned and refinished all the necessary parts to make them shine! I powder coated the frame, plates, brackets and flasher assemblies. I mirror polished all the stainless steel pieces and cleaned all other remaining parts. The domes were NOS, still factory wrapped from Clarence here on the board. Thanks to Ryan as well for the new screws and FS emblems.

very nice. How much of a pain was it getting the speaker cover cut?

thanks for reminding me to take a closer pic of the grille! Updated the pics. I did not have it cut Ryan, It was a find from an old Federal dealer in South Carolina. All original with gasket, template and spacers.


p.s. added a thank you note in the text Ryan!

I don't know why this was labeled "must see." ALL of Eric's collection is MUST SEE!

lol, thank you. I wanted to make sure some of the new members didn't just overlook it as another restoration!

Beautiful southern Georgia!
Eric, that is, HANDS DOWN, one of the nicest restorations I have seen on this board! I know this is a long shot, but if you ever decide to part with it, you know where to contact me.

A true work of love, Eric! :thumbsup: You once again surpassed yourself with a unique bar.


I'm happy to see where those parts you were looking for went. The suspense was worth it!

I believe the phrase 'better than new' is true. That is absolutely crazy nice. Great job!

That bar looks great! It would be cool to see it all lit up! Are you just keeping that in a collection or do you have a project vehicle to put it on?

He has a rediculously amazingly beautiful massive federal collection.
