    Ive seen one frenched in to the underside of a rear bumper before on a falcon i think. It looked really clean you could barely tell it was even there.

    These are on the p***enger front fender. I want to do two on the driver's rear on my daily driver, at an angle that matches the front pillar of the windshield.

  16. Looks like Bernt Carlssons lowrider VW (the one he built in Sweden many years ago)

    Somewhere i have seen someone with 2 antennas in one smaler and larger frenching. Like the last pic, but not that big frenching hole so to speak! :B

    This is a 32 five window with them in the roof. I believe it's a 60's custom. I thought they looked good but quite a different kind of car.

    Looks like 40StudeDude has a water drainage system going.

    Can someone tell me or point me to info on how to do this? Can I use an power antenna? Do I need a drain on the bottom of the tube? Is there a way to keep out the snow/ice in winter since I don't live in the warm states? thanks for the help.
