    Do any of you guys have some good radio antenna ideas such as where to place, what kind of a french to do etc...
    I might just get a hidden antenna, but I was thinking dual frenched antennas on the rear quarter panel.
    Any Pics?

    Do you guys think they would look good or out of place? I was thinking it for my 49 Chevy or maybe my future 55 Caddy project

    I just put mine in the trunk mounted up under the package shelf. Out of sight, no holes, and works fine.

    I mounted one on the inside of the fender, running along the fender. It also worked just fine.
