Antenna question
Finally got the 01 Z06 on the road today and have located all the necessary parts Dave had for it with the exception of the radio antenna. Do you have any recommendations on a good antenna and also possibly where I could purchase it? Also wondering if
the shorter versions have good reception?
Any suggestions?
Thank you for all of your help so far.

Cut yours to desired length with a hacksaw. Put the tip of the piece you cut off between 2 pieces of wood in a vise. Grab section of antenna with vise-grips, twist and pull, and the little ball will come off. File down end of antenna with the screw base, where it will make a tight fit into the ball, and tap with a hammer, using a piece of wood as a cushion.
Shazaam, one free shorty antenna, like mine. 10" base to Tip.

question is do you have any reception issues because of the chopped mod?
I've read several members having slight issues after doing this. Sort of why I haven't done it, but seeing as my budget for mods is almost non existant, I might be doing this.
