Hello, I'm the spoiler guy (front air dam). I've been making the front spoilers. In March of this year, I purchased RQA0348 and have begun a total restoration, and during the process I am trying to come up with some other interesting Avanti parts. What I have in prototype is a replacement rear license bracket made of 16 ga 304 stainless steel. It is laser cut and formed to the OEM shape. The advantage of course is that it will not rust, can be left bare or painted to look original. Please take a look and if there is interest, I will make a few.

Here's my spin on RF interference. I always look for ground faults, especially on a fiberglass car, meaning if a component has a shaky (corroded) ground circuit it will back feed from the next ground point. In this case I would make sure the antenna is properly grounded, there is a flat metal strap that goes from the antenna base to a frame bolt through the trunk floor. Make sure it is tight and no corrosion. The ground from the taillamp circuit may be carried back to the radio through the negative side of the coaxial cable. Another thing to check is try to isolate the antenna coaxial cable away from the wire bundle that services the taillamps to see if the RF lessens.

Doing some spring cleaning, came across this music CD titled "The Ramblin Ambassadors Avanti". Anybody know anything about this?
