Dale,

I share your thinking with regard to the antenna. I once had it all, including both the "mud flap" and horizontal portions of the antenna and could not bring my self to make the holes in either the floor and running board. The whole 100 yards ended up with Bob Slack (r.i.p.) at the V-8 Grand National Meet in Tulsa in 1978.

Mike,

The chicken wire on '33-'34 closed cars does not touch the body sheet metal and they came with an antenna lead snaked down through the right side A-pillar. It's only the '32s where the chicken wire is not isolated.
