Da Fjord mn_smokeater's F-150 Build.

Really?
So all those pics below were you measuring and marking where you were going to cut a hole for antenna? And the pics of the fender mounting bolts were the ones you were going to unbolt for access to mount antenna? And the measurements of the fender bolts were so you could get the fender back in the same spot? And that is why you measured the fender gap?

I can see that you are really going to depend a lot on that “family friend who owns a body shop!”

Or am I reading this wrong here? I don't get it.

yeah im sure that confused alot of people the marks where suposed to show the dimentions of the fender for a custom mount but thats been changed to one thats gunna be bolted to the fender bolts mounting area and up through the gap in the hood and the CB ann. will be on that.

the needing the body shop isnt to far off though has a few spots that need work and its not my strong suit
