Need help with a 51 cranbrook

i have a 1951 four door cranbrook and i want to chop it any ideas on a appropriate chop like inch wise and should i sink the rear window or just lay it down hope to get some feed back or any tips thanks

 

Photo Chop does wonders for the planning.

 

how do you do that just take two pics and cut one?

 

Have you ever chopped a top? If so, have you ever done a 4dr? This is jumping off in the deep end of the pool if your experience is lacking. why not just work on the suspension and make it low and not chance destroying the whole car?

ya i chopped my 41 international pick up i plan on bagging it but definantly want to chop it ive been working with metal and fabricating for 6 yrs now and figured ide just do it but want to do it right and didnt know if there were any pointer i needed to know of to do a 4 dr

 

Anymore help?

 

start here. as far as your questions they are very subjective and totally depend on your taste. my car is chopped four inches. but it's not a four door and has a desoto back gl***.

and stop starting new threads. it's good way to annoy people...

 

Oh my bad but thanks man how dio i keep a thread going? im new to this and im wanting my car to just be low and chopped pretty ******** im looking for a shoebax stlye just lead sledded

 

Odds are no one has chopped one before because those Plymouths are so cheap it's hardly worth the time to start with a 4-door. I mean to find a less desirable car, you have to start being turned on by Chevettes or something. So be forewarned that you will probably own it until the end of time - and that you're going to be on your own, there is no how-to-it guide for cutting it.

As for the thread, you have to be patient, this isn't like typing a search into Google, it may take a few days or even weeks to get more answers.

 

Huh, ok well ya ill just do it myslef then cant be to bad i bought the car for 200 bucks and just got a 52 chevy sled so its just something to do bc no one else around my town does it

 

Here's a pic of my 51 Concord. Chopped 3" and pillars laid forward.

The chop makes the doors look like a refrigerator... Next up for mine is a 3" section

 

first, get your jpeg from the side like so. then, get it sitting right.

 

rotate the picture 10-12*. cut out the rear window.
revert back to the dropped picture, paste it in. then piece together the lowered roof.
