[RFI] WAY OT

[Dale Martin]

I haven't had any experience with fiberglass body installs, but what about a
simple lip mount to the trunk lid with a strip of metal plate for
reinforcement?  

If the antenna doesn't perform well without a ground plane, attach grounded
sheet of aluminum or copper to the inside of the trunk lid.
