[DeTomaso] Antenna Hole

[cengles at cox.net]

Dear Mike and Daniel,

I have personal experience with this approach.
Good news: cheap and easy and can be painted to match the car so an aesthetically pleasing contrasting color.
Bad news: it seems to score *negative* points at those Pebble Beach concours and earn the scorn of the judges of good taste. :-)
I tried it for a couple of years and then succumbed to peer pressure and had the body shop do a proper fix. I can now maintain the standards of decorum in high pressure car show competition!

;-) Warmest regards, Chuck Engles
