    Soon as I saw the chop, visor, and spots, I thought lowrider bomb. That's not a bad thing. Lots of cool roads that thing can go down.

    i could just see it now, a deep candy apple red or a burgundy color with tons of gleaming chrome from the bumpers and all the trim, nice!

    i have some extra parts, trim, interior, engine, etc. let me know if you need anything specific and i'll dig for it.

    Here are some updates, I have the rear fenders made, got the car sitting low. I know a lot of you don't like the caddy lights but I do.Next step is to get the roof completely welded

    Some excellent metal work but I'm not feeling the fenders at all...they look too long and too low at the rear...out of proportion to the rest of the car.

    But...it's your car and it's your vision so more power to you...

    Any plans to taper the front fenders into the doors? That might help even out the extra length of the rear fenders. . . you could also match the profile shape to make the rears not look out of place. I still don't get why you went with the caddy lights, but you're not building it for me.

    I like the radical fenders but you need to lower the back some more. The car looks like it is sitting on a rake and that is fighting the heavy skirts/fenders. double check to make sure your skirt chrome is parrallel to all the other side chrome on the car.

    This is the new front fender metal work to match the rear fenders. I want to know what you guys think about it. Plus my front air rides are all done. Now I am working on the back.

    Mike, your Plymouth is just un-freakin-bekievable. You've taken a car that I thought could not be chopped and made to look good, and you've done it! The work you are doing on the fenders is just insane. WOW!!! I love it.

    Can I come by and see it some time?

    What did you do with the gay little "bump" on the deck lid under the rear window? That's a trouble spot for me.
