chopping a 47 plymouth coupe

Thanks for the update!

 

just read the thread this after seeing your album, great work, hope things will free up so you can keep it moving

 

Love it! looking awesome, great job!!

 

GREAT FUCKING BUILD!!!!! I love it!!!!

 

Any updates??

 

Very cool.

 

Plymouth 1946-8 coupes are all 5 Window.

 

To me it would look squished, it's already such a tiny cabin.....maybe if lengthened and hard topped?

 

I feel the same way. Small top on them. I have seen a red dodge on the internet floating around that is chopped. Its not my fav but not really my cup of tea! I also have seen a 49 3 window Plymouth where they sectioned in the roof of 30s something coupe and changed up the whole look of the car. I thought it was pretty bad ass looking. Its here on the hamb just need to find it. I will post it when I do.

 

Last of our little hi-jack....ROADSTER BABY!

 

Last but not least, leave the top alone and drop the ass end on the ground throw some tear drop skirts on it. Tale dragger baby.

 

See if this looks like what you have! Post 98. This is one bad ass coupe!

coupe looks great. using your cut marks for reference in my own. thanks for the descriptive pics

 

Dave, great looking project...I'm looking at getting a 47 this month. I have a question about lowering the front and rear without bagging, Do you have any suggestions...would lowering blocks/ C notch... in the rear accomplish the ride heigth you've got or is bagging the way to go. I have never gone the bagged route.

 

finally got done with side jobs for this year , got motorcycle chopper build done ,got 64 econoline daily driver mechanical all new and through body on rotisserie to finally get to the rot on bottom of rockers and body braces full tilt here on out

 

That's a Tough Lookin Chop!! Gives that old ply - mouth a cool look!

 

Awesome...cant wait to see where it goes from here! Glad your back on the horse!

Nice to see ya on it again !

 

Full speed ahead!!!!!

 

yo man car is sweet nice work .
Unorthodox Plymouth chop.

 

Looking really cool so far. Could be one of the coolest '47 Plymouths when done. I can't wait to see the Buick and Caddy stuff up front. The Fords look good, but what were your original headlight plans? I'm liking the Kaiser bumper on back. What tail lights are you going to do?

 

for sure those plymouth are looking good with a nice chop and skirts !

 

anything new?
