51 Plymouth belvedere hardtop

Yeah that would be my 51 belvedere with 53 desoto quarters on it. A lot of work ! My brother derek and i have been working on an off on this plym for a few years now. It is way further along now. We did a very suttle chop, and kept the original 3 piece rear window and layed it down, which is what makes these cars so cool. Also a 53 Chrysler rear bumper. I also fab'd a 55 dodge dashboard in there, it wraps around on the side garnish molding. Pretty trick. I'm using a desoto hemi 276 for power. We c-notched the rear , and triangulated 4lind'd with airbags. The car lays frame. In the middle of subframing the front with a heidtz ifs. Freaking a lot of work! Definitely a true Kustom. I wish I could figure out how to post pictures ! We also have a 52 belvedere, mild kustom, lowered, rounded hood corners , also the tip of the hood that accents the emblem was smoothed out. Original motor and interior. Runs great ! Someone tell me how to post pics on this dam site and I will !!!
