    Here's a new project I just picked up. Really didn't like the headlight treatment at first but the more I look at it the more I like it. 3" top chop with a lot of molding in. The work looks top notch from a shop in Central Fl. The grill bars are just setting in place and are a little off in the pics. Problay not HAMB material with the headlights and wheels but imagine it dropped hard with some steel wheels.

    I love old Mopars but personally not too crazy about the headlights.

    The work looks good, should be a nice car when done, but I cringe every time I see another set of old fenders that's ruined with those lights, It shouldn't be too hard to find different "new" fenders and make it right; would be a very nice ride!

    Chop looks just right!

    I'm surprised no one like the lights!

    Ok, I'm not- they're terrible!:eek:

    Easily fixed though!

    I hear ya on the lights. If I use them it will have to be a street rod.
    Anyone have a good set of 1949 Dodge Coronet front fenders?

    You might want to check over at P15-D24.com. Maybe someone there has some.

    Those lights, oh lord. Otherwise, with some steel wheels that thing has potential. Mopar all the way.

    That chop looks fantastic. Much better than I pictured it in my head when I read the title. I do agree with most everyone else though, the headlights have to go.
