Just a quick update. Since my last one, I’ve sold the fold out Jensen deck to a friend and ordered a new deck from a friend that does car audio professionally. Should be in soon.

Finally had the tint done. 13% all around. Thanks to RobDGAF@LVSRT

The other day I played around with the idea of removing the factory antenna. Since the connector behind the dash was broken by one of the previous owners, I’m going to install an aftermarket powered antenna. I dont have the budget right now to have the hole in the fender properly shaved so I thought plugging it would be the next best thing. I found these plugs at autozone that looked to be large enough to cover the entire hole, and some paint damage that was there from the base of the antenna rubbing against the fender. I used some touch up paint first to prevent further chipping/pealing of the paint.

Those plugs are great for both the antenna hole, and the spoiler hole. There is one large plug, approx 1 1/4″ dia, and 8 smaller ones.

Right now it is held in with some double stick tape, as it is just a proof of concept. I bought a second plug that I will paint with Mopar rattle can touch up paint so it blends better with the fender. Eventually, the hole will be properly filled and the entire fender painted.
