Homemade CB Antenna's

[Straywolf]

I figured i would challenge myself again and make some cb antennas for my girl and i think i didn't do too bad on them.


This is what i started with 2, 1/25 rear axles from and old kit i had.



These are the antennas i have on truck now


I then did the measuring with the other antenna and the pin in the end of cut my 2 metal axles to fit.


Once cut and fitted i wrapped telephone wire aound the axle with the coating on it first, but found it was easier without the insulation on it just use the bare wire.


After wrapping the wire i used 3/32" Tech-Tron Heat Shrink Tubing TT100 3/32" Blu to cover it and a lighter to shrink it and here are the results.
