  1. This is pretty much the same as Steve posted at the start of this thread. I used smaller sized tubes and an Insect Pin instead of a guitar string. I'm not sure an E String will fit in the smaller tube since the paint was stripped off when inserted. The pin just slightly smaller. I used 23g .025 ' OD x .019 ID and 27g .01625 ' OD x .0125' ID SS Hypodermic tubes. Got from Amazon in 12" lengths. https://www.amazon.com/Stainless-Steel-Hypodermic-Round-Tubing/dp/B003TFFCBA The insect pins I got from Indigo
  2. I like this idea!
  3. I have been working on finalizing (is that a word) the Crown Vic and at least got the antenna done. It's 3 sections ... Insect Pin at top then 23 and 27 gauge hypodermic tubes. Base is a 1/8 Al Tube. Tip was dipped in Bondix. I was successful using 1/32 Chrome pinstripping tape for the full circle chrome strip around the middle. I tried some black BMF I had for the window trim but it was too old so I'm going to mask it off and paint. That should slow this down. I also chipped the antenna hole in the body, so have to patch that too.
  4. I got an antenna that satisfies me. Has a .009" dia. Insect Pin and thin wall hypodermic tube in 23 and 27 gauge. They give a good proportional look to it. Base is 1/8" Al tube. I cut off the pin head and dipped the tip in it for a small ball.
