Some of you may rememeber my post"s asking about chopping a 1947 Plymouth Coupe. Its nearly done. What do you guy's say?
In no real order. Sorry. The truck was built by the man that chopped this plymouth, one of my good buds. He drove it to The salt flats and back from B.C.
It's pretty hammered. At first I wasnt sure if too much was taken out and it was too radical, but if you walk around the car..it works.
Ya man. I dont know why they wouldnt. These things look slick chopped. The lower 1/4 section of the body's on these things looks bad ass too. The best part though, including the chop, i'm into what you see here for 3500 bucks Canadian.
Also in case anyone is wondering, we are keeping the side quater window the factory shape using the original corners grafted in, not just an abrupt angle. You can see the corner peice tacked in on one of the side profile pics.
Radical chop. Sweet ! Got my eyes on a 1946 plymoth coupe down the street from my house. Was wondering what one would look like chopped. Real nice. Cant wait to see it done. Quit readin this and get back to welding !!!
Looks good , I love these cars and I always have. Please tell me that when the time comes the windshield stainless will be cut and fit to go back on the car. Badass plymouth, dig it !
5 5/8 out of the A post. It's been a while let me check tommorow the rest. I'll take more pics this weekend of it outside. It looks awesome though, the chop has a steady rake front to back. Will look badass with its ass draggin. Yes the stainless trim will be re used. These Plymouths look good from the back too with the wide fenders.
Thanks man. Yeah at first I was a little worried that too much metal was removed. I do not want an over chopped freak-rod profile on this thing, but it's not..it suits the thing great. The rake is perfect. It's going to be a simple tail dragger. No clutter. Mopar body, Mopar motor.....and built for use.
Fatman dropped spindles in the front. Cut front coils to suit. Move front shock mount to frame. 3-4" blocks in rear. Rear springs could be de-arched also. Chop looks good.
This car had the set-up mentioned above. Turning radius sucked though. It currently has a Fatmans stub kit.
