I know i need a Saw mandrel, but i am Completely Lost as to what to use for the radar! Im building my own modernized Ecto on a 92 Cadi Fleetwood Brougham. Im going with a Mixture of Both cars, and not having the radar part is causing some grief, Hope someone can shed some light...Thank you!!

You are going to have the most difficult time finding the 1/4 sphere part of that dish. The rest can be fabricated pretty easily. You might try eBay for a clear dome or hemisphere that you can cut. Good luck!

Good job! Looks really tight! Liked how you said when it moves freely... and someone mentioned it was tracking a ghost... cool beads!
