the radio is bolted to the hood, and has a ground to the battery and frame. so as long as the radio has ground, so does the hood. thanks for watching, 73's from 151 SC.
*If* (and it's a big one) I try a companion build on my '11 John Deere, I'll be using a Cobra 19 Ultra III. It would likely be the only "extra" radio I'd have. A power mic is about all I can add to it, as those pieces o' plastic trash are virtually non-adjustable.
@@MowerJunkie He picked the car up from a neighbor who owns a wrecking yard,the car was going to be used as a demolition derby car .It was in excellent shape,he had the rear deck cloth recovered and the dashboard fixed and now he takes it to car shows.
@@charleswills4554 Please tell Him I said Thank You, for saving that old Crown Vic. Those are well built cars, I'm still sad My son sold his, but it did become a 1st car for another teen.

Sorry for Your loss Andrew, It sounds like Your Aunt and Uncle were fun people. I don't remember what the SWR readings were, But I know it is under 1.3 on all 40 channels. Thanks for watching, 73's from 151 SC.
When I was young I put a 102 stainless whip and I use my walkie-talkie that was years ago years ago
You boys are nuts but I love it 😂
I love this! The most impressive thing is that you got that low of a match, I would have felt lucky to get a 3:1 in that situation!
i did this to my parents mower when i was like 10 yrs old. had a blast talking on that old CB.
Gotta have the proper communication!!!!! wherever you are !!!

Bond the hood to the frame and it'll work better...

I have a old maxon mounted for looks on my scotts s1642 I want to hook a pioneer stereo to it in terms of functionality
I used to talk to an old guy that ran a ssb mobile on his mower.
*If* (and it's a big one) I try a companion build on my '11 John Deere, I'll be using a Cobra 19 Ultra III. It would likely be the only "extra" radio I'd have. A power mic is about all I can add to it, as those pieces o' plastic trash are virtually non-adjustable.
a Cobra 19 would make a great mower radio, they're small, strong and loud! I look forward to talking to it.
NOW, I WOULD PUT A RAIN HOOD OVER IT FOR A COVER FROM THE WEATHER ELEMENTS.
No need, this 1 only comes out to play, on nice sunny days. Thanks for watching.

Yup, a trunk lip mount will be hard to find. what kind of car does He have?
@@MowerJunkie He has a 1987 Crown Victoria he takes to car shows and drives in the summer, so he wants something that looks right on the car.
@@charleswills4554 That's Awesome! My sons first car was an 87 Crown Vic.
