Long story short, I ordered a CB antenna/mount that I thought would fasten to the DS fender and pass thru the seem between the fender and the hood, but I ended up with a gutter mount, which is useless on the hundy. Try finding a CB mount in south FL. Like the Seminole Indians, we have made them just a little difficult to find. Most folks don't even know that they exist.

Anyway, I had to make it work, so I took the antenna off the mount that it came with and mounted it on the TJM Bumper through one of the aux light mounting holes that were already there. I thought it looked goofy at first but after 2 months, I got used to it.

As soon as I find a suitible piece of scrap stainless, I plan on making my own mount to attach behind the rear hatch bumper on the passenger side. That is unless I can find the mount that Alviro is using on his 80. I think that is the best option, but I can't find one for the life of me and I have already spent enough time shopping for CB antennas. CB antennas have to be the most frustrating and painfully boring mods to shop for.
Nice job.
Lets us know how you like the Cobra.
