If the car left the factory with a radio in the dash and then the buyer said he didn't want or need a radio then the dealer would remove (delete) the ordered radio, order a filler plate and then remove the antenna and put a metal antenna deletion plug in the factory punched in fender antenna mounting hole. The fender antenna hole plugs were chrome from what I've seen. Not ordered from the factory radio cars had no antenna hole in the fender, dealer/owner deleted radio cars had a hole and were filled with a chrome plug. MikeR

Dave, you should start a thread in the Projects section; I'm sure many of us are interested in how this car comes together. it was sure a nice clean starting point.

Can't recall if the '68 Bee used the same ribbed cluster bezel as the Charger, but check the BE&A website for the "no radio" plate.
