Photoshop request, thanks to choprod

I'm Trying to thickin the back pillar and massage the roof line in to ,ore of a curve:

 

Hell wouldn't it be easier to buy a 49Chevy?looks like one from here!

 

Just figured I would stop in and say HI, This plymouth is in fact mine and Im pretty happy w/ the way the lines came out.The roof was cut 5 in the front and 6 in the back. Length wise it was widened 1.5 in the front and 3 in the back and the rear glass was leaned in from pretty much the original spot. w/ these changes, the rear qtr window ended up about 1/2 the size of the original and now has a cool teardrop shape. Just to give an idea on how much work was involved, I lost track around 75 hrs! This was however my first chop on a non boxy car and Im only 26, so somebody w/ alittle more expierence would definetly get it done quicker. By the way, The windshield is a pain to put back in, After I broke 2 , I paid a guy to do it!

 

Ok, now I don't care if you don't like it, I really dig this car. I tweeked it a little farther. Cleaned up a few little details and gave 'er some scallops. If this car was live in the flesh parked next to any other make I think it'd hold it's own.....

 

There is this satin green '52 Dodge from California that just came up to my mind...not a Plymouth but close...that one is REALLY bitchin' and has the stock steel roof chopped and the B-posts leaned forward.The chop is rather mild and the whole car has the same look/vibe like Jesus Villalobos '54 Chevy.I bet these guys are buddies.The car is bagged,runs a beautiful tire and hubcap combo and wears '52-'53 Desoto grille teeth.Anybody have some pics ?

 

these are some great pics, im a new member here and i also just bought myself a 49 plymouth for 300 bucks, frame and chassis. this post is giving me some good ideas of what i can do, heres a pic

 

I like the one the supersized did with the shoebox roof. That thing is BAD.

 

For anybody interested,the suede green Dodge I mentioned earlier kinda looks like this...

 

This one belongs to a Lady friend of mine "Perverse" in the UK, A nice chop by Burnham Autos, with kustom made rear qtrs. Peace 8BB

 

Lotsa cool photoshop work here!
I can't believe how GREAT the carson top idea works on this body!
Looks PERFECT!

I'd love to see that one done.

 

Here is my stab at it.
- I lowered the roof considerably and made the roofline slope down toward the back quite a bit. The rear quarter window still kept it's large size.
- I also basically created new rear fenders to match the post.
- Dropped it a bit and added some Starburst hubcaps from Mooneyes.
- I took some metal off of the trunk lid to follow the roof line better.
- Added spot lights
- Took the rear bumper guards(?) off the bumber.

 

He's the easy angle - I did the same basic top mods as my previous 'chops - but hardtopped it instead. After I did that I thought, what the hell why not convert that mod into the carson style top - tan leather would look really rich on this baby.
I placed a few more body mods ...well ok, more than a few, I sectioned the car by 4 inches....everyone can do that, right? Then I lengthened the rear fenders and re-radiused the wheel openings. I pulled the bumpers in and shortened the rear one while taking the guards off the front. Frenched the head and tail lights.


...now I'm REALLY fishing for a compliment.

 

Man, I really don't know what to say. You guys have ruined me now.
I really like the carson top idea. I also like the idea of stretching the rear fenders. Shaving it seems like a no-brainer.
I'll keep looking at all of these in more detail. Its nice to see how others would do it.
Keep up the great work fellas!

Broman,you do some GREAT photoshop work and your latest creation is nice ! I hope you don't mind I added my touch to your pic as I favor the less is more-look...



It's really unbelievable how gorgeous this Plymouth can look once the metamorphosis takes place...I didn't pay much attention to these cars but that's about to change...

 

Frenz,
No prob dude, I appreciate the compliment. I have been doing 'chops for this board for a long time - in fact the only reason I know how to use the program is the HAMB. I got hooked on it so much at first that I join a half dozen other boards just to modify pics...

Knuckles,
I can't speak for the others but in my case you caught me at a good time. I am finished with all of my schooling and I am waiting to hear from my new employer about my work schedule - so basically I have nothing better to do.

I am in a good mood and you had really good, large digi photos to work with. That and I happen to know a guy with one of these cars and I always wondered what I'd do to it if I had it.

 

This pic of the '52 Dodge I mentioned earlier was posted by droplord49 lately into some other post.Thanks by the way ! Just wanted to include in here as I still think it's a bitchin' car...

 

This is not Plymouth but ´50 De Soto had a bit same body style. I did this drawing years ago.

 

Time to wake the dead... this was getting interesting. How did thinks turn out?

I'm prepping to start building mine when I came across this thread. I think I've now looked at every 50 Plymouth related thread.

 

this is a great job !!!! OMG its cool !


any chance of a 4" chop on mine ? thanks .. steve

 

All the photoshops really helped me.

Here is how it turned out.









I am pretty pleased with the final result.

Now PAINT!!!!!

Nice job - restrained enough not to look trodden on. Like it.

 

Cool look but for me I'm not crazy about the look of a chopped 50' Mopar. The tall slab sides look out of proportion with the top unless.....you section it

 

I agree, which is why I think it´s really important not to over chop these.
Photochop (and section)from a while back.

 

James, That is a superb 'shop!

I seriously considered sectioning mine but after we chopped it I felt that everything was brought into proportion. Just my thought.
