    That green looks so good.
    I honestly liked the stock rear glass treatment best, but thats just a matter of taste.
    I think yoyu did a great job, but i would lenghten the doors.
    Sad about the Merc...i love those, and they are great and comfy cruisers.

    Well, I read all the information and also see the pictures i like your creative ideas. Nobody can recognize it from the existing car and how many cost you pay to change it completely.

    That's looking pretty good. One of my buddies just picked up a 52 tudor with what is probably one of the worse cases of bad chop job ever . I've been pondering how to make a car out of it since I saw it a week ago.

    yea i really wanted to have the wraparound glass but being my first chop i noticed that it would have had a dip where the glass met the roof

    I don't think you destroyed it, but improved it a ton. Love those full wheel Plymouth caps, clean, no logo, and very tasty! Nice work bro. ~sololobo~

    i decided to cut the panel above the grill and weld it to the hood to give the car a smooth look and still be able to take off a fender without having to cut up the front end.

    I like the Plymouth grille a lot, fits in there nice. The hood lip attached to the hood is a good idea too, for whatever reason, that forward hood gap is always off on these cars, and this eliminates it completely.

    the plymouth grill basically bolted right in besides having to cut 8" out of the center
