Hidden FM Radio Antenna

Post by 77Spider »

Any ideas on hiding a FM antenna. I am almost finshed w/ my '77 resto and hate now to put a hole back into my body.....? Any suggestions?

I have heard that some use their trunk lid as the antenna. You need to isolate it from the rest of the car with non-conductive bushings on the hinges to avoid interference. Probably worth a try for a really clean look.

Here are a couple of good threads. I especially like the windshield mount idea in the second of the two threads below.
