I think I've seen at some point in the past, a power antenna installed thru the non-mesh area on one side of the engine compartment lid. I can not say if it was on the driver's side or passenger's side... maybe I've seen both (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) ? Maybe I just like the idea and am making myself believe I've seen it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) . Anyway, I'd like to persue it. I'm thinking too that these were diagonally deployed units, which would be preferable I would think, but I guess vertical would be an option if nothing else. Does anyone have pictures of this type of installation they could post? Herschmann (sp?) would be nice but probably not necessary and if I was getting real picky, I'd want it in black. Anyone have experience or a source, thoughts? thx.

Just run it up into the grill, and have the top be in the grill be the stop. Easily returned back to original if you get tired of the mod.
You used to take a shock, cut it down, remove the shackle, and French it into the fender, or where ever you wanted it. Took the top piece of sheet metal, and made a top cap so it would flush out when down at the show. We are talking 70s customization here, started back in the 50s. |
