Today I installed the fender mounted radio antenna in my 58
Plymouth. Here's how it's done.
My car originally had a factory installed radio. So there
was no removable plate in the right side inner fender. I had to use a die
grinder with a small cutoff wheel to cut out the access hole so that I could
feed the antenna thru the hole and into the fender.
My next concern was locating the 3/4" hole in order to feed
the antenna lead thru so that it comes out by the passenger kick panel. This
turned out to be much easier than anticipated, as the hole is located directly
opposite, and about 6" above, the access hole. I cut the access hole large
enough so that I could stick my hand thru the hole. So feeding the wire was no
problem. I slipped the diagonally cut chrome bezel over the antenna base the
came out thru the fender hole and locked it in place with the hex nut. The
chrome bezel is keyed so that it only mounts one way. Then I screwed the
threaded black plastic piece in place above the nut. Hooked up the antenna lead
to the radio and it worked. Yay !
