    That looks good man! I'm using steel so their is no give to it so if it clears it shouldn't rub. I see their are more bends I need to make now. I made the first bend in the press brake but couldn't fit back in to make the second bend so I had to heat it up. When I get my Jeep back I'll try finish it up.

    I wonder if you could put a washer under the part that gets bolted to the fender and keep that part straight, so no extra bends.

    You can. I like the extra surface area contact to keep it more rigid

    I forgot the first one at home so I made another one LOL I just used Matt's pictures to do it so I don't know if it will fit or not. I was bored and still don't feel like stick welding so I just goofed around with this in class today. I managed to twist it My instructor said he meant to tell me it was slightly crooked but got distracted. So a 5lb hammer and a anvil straightened it out a little bit.

    My comet setup - clinging to the edge of the hood - works fine for my little scanner antenna. I like the rigidity of your setup for a serious CB antenna. I'll be curious to see how it holds up against brush and tree branches though!

    I use a QD mount on my CB, so I can more easily pop it off, since most of my travels are around town and I don't use the CB then. Going to Buffalo this weekend though, so I'll be fully deployed. Thing is, most Pittsburgh parking garages discriminate against CB-Americans - my barrel mount still smacks cross-beams in most of them.

    Yeah i'm not worried about tree branches with this one. I can bend the antenna back to my roof and it doesn't flinch...... any tree branch that'll damage this mount means my Jeep won't clear
