Power antenna recommendations?
Anyone have any recommendations for a power antenna that doesn't break the bank? Bubba decided the vette'd look cool with a 12" rubber whip 
instead of the stock antenna. Gotta find something to fill the hole up and'll still work. Will most aftermarket power antennas work on a vette? Assuming you get it grounded good?

I had a hard time with wiring but it was because Bubba made a mess of it when he put in some cheap radio. I rewired it back to the battery and
the new head unit and it works great. I really like the black antenna with the black car.

I just installed one on mine when it came home from paint. I really think it cleans the car up some. It works great and so far, knock on wood, no problems. I bought mine from a member. It came packed in the box like it had never been used.

I got one from Mid America also, $90. Works fine. Ground it to the frame nearby. On my 77, I had the rear bumper cover off the car during installation. If your left muffler is in place and so is your bumper cover, installation will be challenging.

I removed the muffler, made it much easier.Also I can now listen to the radio, no reception before.
