The easy way is to find one of those braided grounding straps that look like miniature versions of the old style battery ground cables - the flat woven braid type. Many cars use these to ground the engine to the firewall (for the same reason, by the way). I know they are usually found on GM cars, and Packards, and probably many others. You don't need a really big one, a 3/8 or so width to the braid is adequate. Just install it from a hinge bolt on the hood (being sure that there is bare metal contact to the hood structure) and put the other end to the firewall with as short a lead as you can arrange and still be able to open the hood. The closer you locate this to the radio antenna, the better it will work. After you tighten the bolts, you can paint over the connection to prevent future corrosion or rust, but make sure you have metal to metal contact underneath the paint!
