To shave the antenna on my cb7 how would i go about doing that diy???

[stretch JDM]

simply take the housing out , sand around the area, then top it off with some small amounts of bondo. sand surface again then tape off and paint. hope this helps.

remove the antenna mast and motor, use a very agressive sanding/grinding grit on the inside AND out side of the vehicle get a 3x3in. piece of sheet metal, you can weld or use a "panel bonding adhesive"(i prefer the adhesive)
once the metal is sanded clean with either wax and grease remover or acetone(i use acetone only cause i have it readily on hand) bend the metal to the basic shape its gonna fill(behind the hole) sand the "patch panel"mix and spread the adhesive over the panel and press it into the positon over the hole... hold it in place for aprox. 5min(heat gun makes this set sooner, some use jb quick weld) try to make the out side as smooth as possible while its setting

once dry sand the outside smooth if you need to fill more of the hole use body filler

****DONT DO THIS****

Panel bonding metal in won't work either. I tried that on a tailgate before. The filler piece vs quarter panel will expand/contract differently. After a while it will leave you an outline of the hole.

Just do it right the first time and weld it.
