Antenna installation on a ‘63 Valiant

My V200 wagon did not come originally with a radio. I’ve installed a working one, and there was an antenna delete grommet in the fender. I’ve removed that, but I don’t see where to route the antenna lead. Do I have to drill a hole? Why would there be a fender grommet, but no other plug to remove? I hope I’m missing something- here’s a shot through the hole.

The fender may have been changed at some point with one that had a radio, or, someone drilled a hole to add an antenna and routed the cable some other way. All the early A-bodies I've seen that were radio delete didn't have a hole in the fender for an antenna. Photo of the hole and delete plate? Is the hole nice and clean like a factory cut?
