chopping a 47 plymouth coupe

nice, work. Wish I had the balls to try project like that. I guess you gotta start somewhere.

 

working on a bathroom remodel after going to my regular job. going to buy my bags, air compressor , lines next week , got all the welds ground down , after the chop , when i get the bags the body is coming back off , and the frame is getting some paint,needing a 53 kaiser rear bumper overide for the rear bumper , also needing a 50 buick bumper and the front grill surround , going to start molding in the lake pipes and making my lowered rear fender skirts and lower valance next week , going slow for a while hitting it a couple of hours after work, will be really going at it again in week ,

 

updates... updates... hows it going?

 

the proportions on that thing are SPOT ON!!! also the tape idea is really cool, i'll def. keep that in mind. what are you going to run for a motor? stock or custom?

 

That looks beautiful. The roofline flows nicely.

 

Looks good! I'd like to see pics of the car in your avatar.

 

the lines on that look good!

 

Sweet chop! Keep on it, I can't wait to see it finished!!!

Car is coming out killer. Beautiful chop! Can't wait to see how it unfolds.

 

Any updates on this build?

 

any updates?

 

Love the chop! I have a 49 highlander, really didn't think bout cutting it but after looking at yours, WOW!!! what's the 48 chev hood/speedster above the car?????

 

been busy , got body off frame and just got done bagging the frame , have upside down at the shop , going to flip it over today and put the tires back on , then going to por 15 the frame then put body back on will put up picks of air bag setup tonight ,, rebuilding the flathead whenever i get the gasket set i ordered , plan on having it running and painted by greaserama hood " speedster" was going to be a soap box derby project , might still finish up someday , cut up about three different years of hoods to make the car so far ,

 

Keep them pictures coming! Great chop.

 

trying to get some pics posted but not working

 

Bad ass chopping....

 

That kicks ass. Good lookin

 

Awesome man! I let a 46 slip thru my fingers a couple years ago. another example of my genius

 

very nice car love work i have a 4 door ply the i chop roof 4 3/4 looking good .

 

looks awesome

 

frame air bagged now to strip rust off and paint next then reassemble with all new bushings

 

here is some shots of the frame with the bag setup done , got to get it disassembled again and get the frame sandblasted and painted then body will get put back on for the last time , flathead six will be rebuilt and painted ! big new shop + no heat = slow and cold progress! shots with frame aired up and down , a shot with my model a to show how low this sucker will be !

 

The bag job on mine should be done soon I hope. Sure wish I had a place to do it myself.

 

Gonna be sick!

 

This plymouth looks alot like a 41 Chrysler I had. Great job

 

Very cool build! I just picked up a 49 2 dr Plymouth Wagon...taking notes on that airbagging...

 

Just found this thread. VERY good detail pics of the chop....you make it look easy, can't wait for updates.
