Location: MN		Hello,

I'm working on adding dual antennas to my car. I'm using the factory template I found on this site so long ago I can't remember who to thank at the moment.

When I marked it out, I was surprised to see the centerline of the holes will be pointing inward some at the front rather than being straight ahead. My bases are still out being re-chromed so I don't have them for a reference at the moment. I didn't take a photo of my car because most of it is covered while I'm having some other work done to it so there's not much to see other than the opening I made to mark holes.

Does anyone out there have a '57 or '58 Plymouth with known factory-installed antennas who can confirm if bases are straight or if they point in some at the front?

Below are photos of the template and the rear of a '58 Fury that seems to show the fronts pointed in some. I just don't want the masts to be pointing outward. Any insight will be greatly appreciated.
