    Have you tried it up top with no shaft? And the grounding issue could probably be solved pretty easily with some ground straps.

    Dirty....Bottom part of the coil on a 2000 is threaded...Once he has a taller shaft made to get that coil above the roof he will need to shorten whip accordingly to tune for resonance..
