Art & Inspiration ¡¡¡ The Mother Of All Chopped Threads! ¡¡¡

^I must agree.....very nice!

 

Beautiful, this pic just makes me want to drive it!!!

 

WOW! Love, love, love this!!!

 

sweet, it sits perfect!

 

We also have a 1950 plymouth special deluxe four door that we are torn over. Its entirely original and we've been standing in the garage for the past 3 nights debating what we're going to do .

To chop it or not to chop it? that is the question. We're starting to think if we decide to chop it (even with knowledgable help from friends) that we'll be in over our heads with this massive project...especially since its a 4 door. We're starting to think that not chopping it and giving it a different "stance" with shaved door handles would help its lack of "bad-ass" at the moment.

This thread is not helping that decision though . The more we browse these photos the more it makes us want to go to the chop route.

 

my 48 dodge 4 door .. about 4"..got to get working on it ..

 

4 inches............

 

go ahead and chop it ..there are a lot of stockers out there ,, and you may as well stand out with a 4 door .. 4 doors rule ...and yes to shaving the handles ..

 

haha thanks for the instigation!! The only problem is that we dont have any real clue as to how to do such a task.

 

how deep are your pockets ??? there are a lot of great builders out there ..

 

55 Ford Chopped 8" in the sixties by the Highwaymen Car Club of Kitchener Ontario.

 

not very deep haha. we bought the 50 plymouth special deluxe because our budget wasnt that spectacular. if we decide to chop it; ill be sure to post it here and ask for suggestions, advice. we have 2 friends who are great builders so they might be able to help out

Here is some pic's of my 40 Buick Coupe. I chopped this car over 25 years ago. It's cut about 2 3/4 inches. I also added a 1960 Chev Dash at that time. That's been done many times over since then. I guess it's time I get back on this project. JIM

 

Is that a Model a? Windows look funky... I kinda like it.. Kinda like a Fat Girl with a pretty face..

 

5" chop not done by me. Still trying to sort it all out... Much like the museum it's in front of, it's a work in progress.
