thats got a seriously sinister look to it. me likey!! i'd like to see the front end and the pancaked hood. i know your gonna give this one the full "Grumpy style[tm]" look. i suspect it will look beyond 'Grumpy' and loo down right PISSED OFF!!! SWEEEET! i does need a seriously "rude" engine in it for sure. maybe 383 Mopar. unless you got a HEMI layin around.
Grumpy,how bout some updated pics. I've always really dug these cars. I'm gonna start looking for one now instead of a shoebox ford. Like to walk off the beaten path. The chop looks kill! Now lets see it!.....Shiny
man i love that car.. you could just mold the stock tailites in for a hirohata look, and prime it seafoam green for the summer
man,that thing is lookin SWEEEEEEEEEET! hey,you're in ohio...why dont ya come over here and chop my 54 for me? :-D she's been needin a chop...how long did that take and how much did it cost ya? seriously,i might just find me an old rear window at the swapmeet for my car (either a 150 back window or one from a fleetline) and i'd LOVE to get her chopped.....creepy
Damn.. I sold that thing months ago It was like three cars ago! I get bored easy. Anyone wanna buy a 54 chevy shoptruck!!!
Jeez Grump. You do so well sellin' stuff, why not sell my Buick...again? Ha Ha... I would love a shop truck but can't afford it yet. Spike PS- New car is bitchin'
Grumpy, Im doing a 54 Plymouth...same car, same body lines. I will be experiencing a chop on this thing. The car actually belongs to 2xcrash. We stabbed a 305 w/ 700r4 in it. Tight fit..but it looks good. I can send picts if your interested. Did you do the chop? If you did, I have questions for you. As for mechanics, I can help, I did all of the brakes and such for this thing. Oh, to lower this thing nicely w/ good spring, bend the rear leafs upward (old school style) leaves alot of spring in it and your LOW to the ground. If I put a 3" block on mine, it would sit bumper on the ground. If possible, can I see picts of the hood and core suppport area? What radiator are you running. Im going to send you a PM...please call me, got alot of questions. BTW: Nice freaking ride...Love it!!!!
WOW. Ok, get the saw! We got some cutting to do !!!!! Can't wait to see what's next, keep us posted!!!
I am aching to see this car. I love '53's. There is no picture on my page. A little box with a red "X" in it. I am going to throw this freaking box into GD Puget Sound. This drives me nuts. I'm signed it etc. What the Hell? Why can't I simply see the "my new chopped plymouth." Livid.
It's probably because as a FNG you dug up a six year and four day old thread that the original poster deleted the photos off his photo host a long time ago on. You even got a good laugh from him on it. There needs to be a way to lock these threads when they hit X months of inactivity so no one can dig them up and post on them again.
