A little over a month ago, I went with a friend to take a look @ a 
DeLorean that he was considering purchasing. Admittedly, it 
was the first time that I had seen a windscreen with the antenna 
in it. Or perhaps I should say 'on' it. The only thing that I could tell 
that was embedded was a simple post for the antenna wire to 
attach to. The rest of the antenna was simply "printed" on with 
the same material as a rear window defrostor.

It's a little late now, but not impossible. If you want to maintain 
originality, Just pick up a bottle of the defrostor repair "paint". 
Mask off the sections where you want the antenna to go, and 
then just draw it on. To connect it up, just solder on a spade, and 
crimp on a connector. It should connect the exact same as a 
defroster would. Plus, since it is custom, you could extend the 
antenna to cover a wider range, and you might be able to hide 
the connection below the dash.
