Larry OP member L Joined: Jul 2012 Posts: 63 Halifax, Nova Scotia	I would like to know the exact location of the antenna hole in the passenger fender of a 1970 Challenger. There is some debate as to whether mine is in the correct spot or not, and I would really like to fix this issue before paint - smart eh?? Thanks as always

Larry Unless you are doing a factory concour level restoration, consider installing a power antenna. One of my favorite upgrades to our Challenger. Partly driven by the fact that at times I park the the car under my 4 post lift and tired of removing the antenna to do so. 8387581-image.jpg (134 downloads) Last edited by Sxrxrnr; 01/06/15 09:25 PM.

Had tried a couple other brands but unable to fit to the car. Is a bit tricky when trying to use the stock antenna bezel as comes on Challenger. Was able to achieve success and stock appearance with the Classic supplied antenna. Looks and fits well. Any further interest I will try to recreate and post exactly what I had to do to get a successful installation.

Have yet to find something in chrome appearance that is not a conductor. Black plastic would be ok too. Just have not spent the time yet to find something suitable 8388888-image.jpg (278 downloads)

I am certainly interested in your "successful install" process. Thanks in advance for any future posts you can make with more detail.

Our Challenger, it appears as the way that ME1536 looks. http://www.classicindustries.com/shop/mopar/parts/audio-security/antenna-parts/ Last edited by Sxrxrnr; 01/09/15 04:48 PM.
