What to do when your antenna base looks like this?

Plastic tubing from the box store plumbing Dept. This is too easy!

The original FM fixed length mast cleaned up nicely.

After a Evapo Rust bath followed by gun oil the hood hinges and latch showed off nice original phosphate .

There was a struggle with my OCD here. as the car came apart three of the latch bolts and the two tie bar to rad support bolts were washer style. Through out I've strived to use all original fasteners, but these are not correct, by the AIM, or accepted practice. I would have corrected, but then washer circles would have been visible, so, back the way Fremont did it.

Bill,

Speaking of antennas.

Since this ‘67 wagon came with the factory AM-FM radio, is there a noise suppression capacitor out by the blower motor?

All 65-67 Pontiac Tempest Series cars that were order with the AM-FM received this in-line unit.

Thanks, Chris

Installed a pair of less than perfect NOS front wheel opening moldings and cleaned and installed the remaining front trim.
I installed a matched set of Sylvania Halogen bulbs, because I had them, it's a driver, and my stash of original T3's is not bottomless.

Like the floor pans, Fremont was generous with overspray body color on the bottom of the hood!!

OK guys and gals, this brings me up to real time.

I've stated that this car had nice fit of the front sheetmetal, and that made the hood fit easy. The hood fell into place with no real challenge, and has gaps rivaling anything in my garage.

Please note that the grille, grille extensions, and headlight doors received the same blackout treatment as the SS396, unique to Concours. One of my peeves is this blackout not done correctly!

Front bumper.....

Yes Chris, just took this pic. It's not in the same location as your info, after cleaning I put it back where I found it. I would swear I 've also seen this location in the AIM, but couldn't find it just now. Note also the FM only ground cable further down. - Bill W

Looks great, Bill. I need to get some Evapo Rust. Everyone loves that stuff.

The car is turning out great. Nice job! Here's a picture of Starksen Chevrolet with an SS427 Impala closest to the camera.

Great vintage photo!
