Antenna is a home made (and designed, on NEC) 2 meter, 3 element x 2 broadside beam, > 10 dBd gain at 5 feet above the car. (rubber neck attractor) I will be painted black and used primarily in the dark.
Neil, That looks good, I was thinking of something like that but haven't worked out how to fill the gap behind the tire without it catching the air. I have screwed in 1 1/2 inch black poly tubing around the opening which I formed into an arc in the oven using a bicycle rim. (pictures later). My current thoughts would extend the fixed part over the whole wheel well with circular slots cut 2/3 around and something elastic for tension, but maybe the top hinge is the way to go. I think that the Bonneville wheel covers won't attach to the aluminum wheels.
