    Look at ebay item 4646327534

    http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1,1&item=4646327534&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT

    Looks good to me.

    Also there was another one at Paso. Got its own thread called "Who's car? more pics??"

    I seen the one on E-rape, mine is a different style Hot Rod and that is what got me thinking, it will also help answer for my friend Rich he has one too. Hey Evel I need your opinion come on I can take it.

  10. Better question is, how are you planning to drive it? Salt Flat car, or distance driver? Your answer is in the cards, grasshopper.

    I say leave it unless you are going for a real radical look , the early MOPARS had great lines right out of the fatory with the high beltline low roof they already look chopped.

    I've gotta agree with most, that to me is the coolest coupe body style exactly how it sits. Not that I'll ever be able to afford a 32' Ford ever, but to me I really like the Plymouth better. If you can't decide what to do, you can store it at my place til you decide:D

    No don't chop it. Yeah just leave it.

    Or you can get rid of the Pacer fishbowl look and just chop it. Mine is chopped and I look at the stockers and just can't get past how tall they look.

    It is your preference and what style suits your needs, wants and dreams.

    mine is not chopped and i love it when guys come up and ask how much is cut out? and you replie with " none, its a plymouth" then they step back and look again. mine is channelled and i can barley get my fat ass in it now, could not imagine it chopped. my vote is no chop....

    I'd leave it alone. I like it as is. That car would look great gloss black.

    if you have to chop it, make it mild. real mild. it has a great look as it sits though.

    You really dont need to take a chop on a 33. They already look pre chopped from the factory. Take it all up in channeling. Mine has a 5 1/2 Channel, no chop. Its also on that big auction site.

    I could be wrong but I believe your car is a 34 they had a taller roof than a 33.
