Option for Routing Antenna Wire - Non OEM location

Good afternoon,

This weekend I discovered that my antenna was not an original antenna (due to the fact that there was a bundled up length of antenna cable under the dash held together with a twist tie). There is a another antenna cable under the dash that may be the original one but that one was cut somewhere in the fender I think since it does go through a grommet.

So I learned where this new antenna cable was routed. Folks this is not a bad way to route a new aftermarket antenna if you need to install a new one on your 1966's right fender.

See the pictures I attached. You can see the end of my cable right under a small hole. This is the hole I pulled my cable out of. This seems to be a good way to route an aftermarket antenna if you need to.

Since my cable was kinked, I decided to cut of my antennas mast so I can use my car cover without making the antenna hole. This just makes things easy for me. I still have the antenna mount in place so it looks good and seals the hole.
