Here is an option for the antenna hole. It would be cheaper than having a body shop fill it in, but wouldn't be as flat.

So, while tearing down my mustang tonight...

I got the idea, let's shave the radio antenna. I had the wild idea to relocate it to the passenger side A pillar. I know some are running an amplified antenna, but I thought I'd try this first to see how it does. My little black shorty antenna fits in the trim piece, with two holes drilled to keep it in place.
I'm a little tired, so I'll wait till tomorrow to snake the antenna up to the pillar, and try to figure out how to get it out of the fender. (I've already removed the base, just have to make it the rest of the way, and hopefully there is enough slack in the cord to get there.

I love your car paint. I never seen that color on a mustang. Front grill looks sick and mean as well. Cool idea with the antenna , ill give it a go

Good to hear it worked out for you...I've been considering doing this EXACT same thing for awhile now...moving the external antenna rod into the passenger-side pillar trim, then filling in the fender hole at the body shop. On my list of things to do.
Cool!!!
Cool!!!

Like this mod. I was surprised to see that ugly antenna when I started shopping for my new car. I understand the attempt at nostalgia, but I can't think of any other current models with external antennas.
Nice job!
Nice job!
