Recommended Posts

I took my stock one off to put a car cover on it over the winter a few years ago...and never put it back on....now its bent.....i want something different.

 

I'm thinking about designing a antenna for the GP....about 8-10" tall and have the Pontiac emblem at the top of it....

 

it will be about an 1/8" thick and of course, powdercoated black.

 

i'm drawing up a sketch now in autocadd.

 

what do you all think?...should i go through w/ it?

How big would the pontiac emblem be?

 

dunno....still working that out...gonna print it off in one-to-one scale and see what looks good.

Yes Robby, something like that....but then have the Pontiac Emblem at the top of it.

 

 

i'll need to machine a base w/ the threads and everything and then attatch the antenna to the base so it will screw on.

whoa...what the hell is with the old sigs?

 

and IIRC they make antenna's like this. with the pontiac emblem in the middle of the antenna

i wanted to do the shorty antenna on the cutlass...i dunno how it would look with the emblem in it though...

cutlass? come on terry, this is "old sig flashback" not "talking like we're in 2005"

I'm assuming your antenna isnt power and didnt go down when you turned off the car?

 

Anyways, GTP_Munky wanted to shave the antenna and get get a digital one and hide it somewhere inside the car. I think thats the best idea.

Lol i see that now...i didnt before

That would be pretty cool. Would there just be like a plastic emblem up there, or would the antenna be physically bent into the arrowhead?

Posted

imo, cool idea but i think the emblem would be better on the bottom or in the middle so it didn't look too top heavy. or like those things you can just slide over the top of it

Posted

something like this, but with an arrowhead?

just like that.....i'm still debating....i'll shave it eventually...when the car gets repainted and i got Turbo 3400.....whenever that is....
