    A and C posts taper, lotsa work to get everything to line back up. If this is your first chop, I wouldn't recommend it.

    A friend of mine has one and I agree. The roof line looks good the way it is from the factory IMO.

    No chop, it looks great just the way it is.

  10. If it were mine I would not chop it.
    They look perfectly proportioned as they came.....I never saw one chopped that didn't make the front fenders look humped up like a big toad ready to jump!:D
    Ride height has a lot to do with the look too......Big and little tires are a must -dont run tall fronts on a Mopar

    Hey, skipper.
    You know me....I say CHOP IT!! 2" or 2-1/2" would be killer! But, if it was my car I'd have to cut a hole in the floor for my ****. When I sat in it, my head was already hitting the roof with the channel job and those cool little seats you got in there. But I'm 6'-2", so deduct a little for yourself, and chop accordingly. Chop chop! See you guys at the BBQ!

    By the way everybody, here's a nice profile view of the car in question.

    33's looked chopped already. Chopping one ruins the proportions of the car. Not every car requires a chop.

    Why on earth would anyone want to chop a 33 Plymouth coupe? It looks chopped from the factory. Any one I've sen chopped looks goofy. It ruins the proportions of the car.
     
  19. Because Hot Rodding.

    So @Royalshifter what did you end up doing way back in 06 to this Coupe, chop or no?
