Hey there,
I'm going to add an automatic antenna to my 66 as soon as it is back from the body shop where it is being painted. Technically it is a piece of cake to wire it in and mount it. In a 66 fender, it is easier when you loosen it up. I don't know about later years.
I did opt for a brand antenna, Hirshmann is actually about the best and most reliable you can buy. Ok, they are a bit more expensive, but I would not want to have to do the installation all over again in a couple of years.....
I have done quite a lot with hifi equipment in cars and often together with a friend who specialises in car hifi. We both came to the same conclusion....buying cheap often means you end up buying the same component again.
In the end you are often wiser (economically) if you buy something a little more expensive with a lot more quality.
Just a thought.
