Well here is my dilemma. My car is ready to pick up from the body shop and I noticed that they forgot to drill a hole in the pass side fender and mount the antennae. :mad: At first I wanted them to put it back on but now that I think about it, I think it may look better without it. What do yall think?

If I decide not to put it back on I am going to need some kind of antennae or something to make my radio get a signal and I don't know of anything to use. Do yall know of something that I can use if I choose not to have an antennae? Thanks for your opinions. ;)

There are a few different types of hidden antenna's available. Dakota Digital has one.... there are others.
Looking at your car... it's a tough decision. Looks like you went for the factory look more or less, so an antenna wouldn't be out of place.

Pat I like them better with out one.
I saw a thread here on hidden ones , not sure where though.
I think Summit offers one , I need to get that.

I went through roughly the same thing, except that I was deciding before paint.

Much cleaner looking without a front mounted antenna.

There is a hidden, powered antenna made by AutoLoc and sold at Advance that sells for about $20 and works great. I will find you the part number, but if you can find it at an Advance nearby, it is cheap to try and should work well. All it needs is a 12V power lead (my head unit had a lead for a power (roll up) external antenna, so I used that). My antenna is stuck to the top of the glove box cardboard and works well here in the Philly burbs.

Here is the thread with the part number.

I forgot, if you like/want to listen to AM, then you will probably have to use the stock fender mounted antenna. I have never seen a hidden antenna that picks up AM.

i like the factory antenna..a great place to hang the american flag ,of course a smaller version of one, when at the car shows!! but thats just me..god and country baby!!!

I went with the clean look. no antenna.

Thank you guys for your votes and advise on the hidden antennae. Here is the only pic I have where you can see the antennae to get an idea of what it looks like:

looks killer!

Don't need my radio to work---Listening to my big block is all the entertainment I need while driving !

Rear antenna only or no antenna

hidden or do the vet version if you want to avoid the metal cuts

no antenna is my vote..I welded my hole up before paint so I am commited

I'd go without but didn't want the extra expense of a hidden one.

No anteni... :D

Rear antenna. OEM looks and works fine.

I vote for no antenna, or 2nd choice would be rear quarter-mounted antenna. Just make sure your rear spoiler clears it.:)

Autoloc power antenna in the right rear quarter panel here. My Sony radio turns off the antenna lead when playing a CD or something off the USB port so the antenna is only up when the actual AM/FM radio is playing. $30 off ebay and $10 for a 15 foot lead extension.

I used the Dakota Digital

Because of your modern styling or your 69' , with the rims and tinted windows, I would go for no antenna. Just to keep it modern.

Thanks for the pic Steiner. :thumbsup: I think this may be the way I go. :yes:

I used the Dakota Digital
I bought a cheaper version of the dakota and it is no good.How is the Dacota....

I voted no antenna. I had a power antenna on the rear quarter them switched it to another kind. Now that I am doing body work my a father-in-law thought that I did not want the hole. And closed it up. I didn't tell him otherwise after. But I really think it will look cleaner without. And am now checking into hidden antennas. Who is happy with theirs and what brand? Doesn't matter so much about AM stations, I don't listen to them much anyway.
