    Power antenna....the only way to go.

    I have a thread on this board somewhere of the one I put on my car.

    My single biggest regret with my build was we totally forgot to weld up the antenna hole. Didnt even clue in until re-assembly.
    I guess of your going to leave the fender mount then the power idea is great. Another idea to add to my never ending list....Thanks Craig. LOL.

    Yeah im in the same boat i totally spaced out welding the hole closed, kinda why i started the thread haha. i have seen at my work those antennas that you mount in your rear window or were ever, ive thought about that.
