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.
