Hello everyone!
I am quite happyto show you the new baby (well, not such a baby considering the size) of the collection. She started as an all-red firetruck rescued bar found in the local classified. I striped the bar down and cleaned and polished every parts. I toyed a while about what color combination I should get for her. The all red domes were not in such a good shape; besides, all-red domes are so common and bland I had to get something else. I settled for all clear, since, well, the color combinations are endless and seriously, who can get tired of all-clear AeroDynics? I certainly can't...
I decided to go in a classic, yet different fashion. Red and blue California bars were often seen, but not in 72" as far as I know. I'd have a hard time picturing this big bar on a police vehicle but nonetheless, let's try it.
I found the red and blue AeroHawk filters after a LONG search. They are held in place with brass bolts, since the older metal rotators wouldn't accept the newer star screws that came with the filters.The amber 4415A at the back were found I think on Amazon. The clear domes were from Toyotafan. The harness, I had from another rescued bar headed for scrap.
It has 8 rotators, 4 red and 4 blue, V mirrors in the center, amber rear flasher, red steady burn, and a clear takedown on the passenger side. A video will follow soon. I didn't want to screw up the rotator all facing forward for now.
Enjoy!
