the aerial is better a bendy straw, heavy duty copper earth 240 for the antenna. a little bit of work needed. question is to i convert it back to the original optima, as i have the radio plate and shocks, or do i leave it as a optima pro..??

Me personally I'd put it back to standard but then most of my vintage cars just live on a shelf for show 😀

Antenna sounds like something off blue peter
"finally create an antenna tube with the bendy straw , pushing it down until it looks like this one that I made earlier"
