Oooh I'm sure I read about doing that in an old Custom Car... If I remember right, you weld a section of pipe under the wing and mount the aerial in the bottom of that!
Hmm... Rear window Louvres? Paint the lettering on the tyres? Big CB Aerial on the roof?

don't forget to kit yourself with some lovely check sports jackets... and some gorgeous brown flares..... and maybe some tassled loathers? or is that more 80`s than 70`s?
