Thread: 53 Is back from the Body Shop

Tweet

I had to put an outside antenna back on Rita. I filled the original hole when I was doing the body work on it thinking it was the dumbest place possible that anyone could put an antenna. Little did I know then that it really is the only spot where you can put one because the hood will break it off when it opens if it's any further forward and if it's on the passenger side, it will be in the way of the rear side mirror. I learned that the hidden antenna is a joke and I mounted one underneath the pickup and it was better but still awful. I found a template on where to drill the hole and when I was just about done drilling I heard my backing plate that I used to weld up the hole fall down. I got the hole in the exact same place as the original so I was happy, and I can pick up stations like XM Radio now!
