Mine WAS on the front fender. I had them shave it off when I went to paint. I'm just going to install Sirius radio, and be done with it. I'm hoping I can hide the Sirius antenna under the cowl panel...

So keep the antenna feed line SHORT? to minimize it.. I had a 61 Chevy i installed dual rear antennas, what a mistake I had to install Filter caps every where to be able to hear a clear reception of the AM signal.?? I went for the COOL Look :( Wayne ? ?

He told me that some did come that way. So my question to the group is, does anyone have a 69 original with the rear antenna, and would it be possible to get a cut out with the exact location before I drill a hole in my very expensive paint.
