Was there ever a part # for a fender for a radio delete car? Like an AAR Cuda RF fender? How about the RR 1/4 for an AAR or a T/A? Were the holes cut at the factory, or did they stamp special 1/4's?

The antenna with a mounting template was in the trunk of the car. We drilled the fender and mounted the antenna on those new cars. Idea behind it was that cars coming to the dealer with an antenna would be vandalized and the antenna broken off while in transit.

IMGTX I Live Here Joined: Apr 2003 Posts: 12,237 Looking for a way out of Middl...	This thread is interesting to me because I have a 74 RR/GTX that was radio delete. It has what appears to be a factory antenna. It doesn't appear that the fender was ever changed. I have always wondered what's up with that?
