rodbrady 18 Report post Posted October 13, 2015 I'm looking for options for black wiper arms and a black antenna. I thought I saw on a forum at one time where black wiper arms from a newer car would fit on on 69, but I don't remember the specifics. Also, I wish I had had the antenna hole filed in when I had the car painted, but didn't think about it then. Any ideas on a solution in black, that might be less conspicuous than the stock antenna?

69RavenConv 286 Report post Posted October 17, 2015 The wipers are aluminum, the antenna is chromed steel, you could probably have them anodized or powder coated. I have no idea what that costs. Of course there is always paint or Plasti-dip. A good black epoxy primer might work; it would be more durable than paint or Plasti-dip and have a matte finish to boot. I would probably try the primer. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LiLMike 42 Report post Posted October 18, 2015 As for the antenna, I went with a power antenna. Got one off of ebay at a reasonable price. When it is down it gives a clean looking appearance. It mounts in the stock location in the front fenderwell. Only thing special I had to do was to remove the passenger door to mount it, which was no big deal.

Do you have a link on e bay for the power antenna? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LiLMike 42 Report post Posted October 19, 2015 Here is one. There are a lot of others but this seems like a good deal.

rodbrady 18 Report post Posted November 1, 2015 Would I still be able to use the rectangular antenna base with a universal power antenna, since my fender has holes for that? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LiLMike 42 Report post Posted November 5, 2015 I did. I like the look of the rectangle base and my power antenna came with one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LiLMike 42 Report post Posted November 5, 2015 No pictures nd my car is not here. It's getting some work done it at the shop. It looks just like the stock base just with a recessed antenna in the middle. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shaun071 62 Report post Posted November 5, 2015 Ahh ok. I've got the fixed rectangular base style and was after either powered or telescopic Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LiLMike 42 Report post Posted November 5, 2015 This is a power antenna mounted on the rectangle base. When the radio is off the antenna is all the way down flush with the rectangle base. When you turn your radio on, the antenna raises for good reception then retracts back into the base when the radio is shut off. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
