chopping a 47 plymouth coupe

Damn thats looking great ! The profile from the rear is spot on, great call on lowering the rrear bumper.

 

Looks awesome! Here is one I did a few years back......

 

I LOVE what you've done with this car. It is going to be awesome when you're done. Keep us posted.

 

sick. Just totally sick.

 

Thats a great looking chop. plymouth coupes look so good chopped. Good work.

 

Looking fine.
Does the rear raise up some also--for driving?

Are you leaving some of the stainless trim on the body?

 

yes rear is bagged also , keeping the beltline trim only , shaved the door handles and bought extra hood side pieces to remake the door trim , where the handle is incorporated into the trim, hood sides are 3 inches longer than the door so should work.

 

Good idea swapping the hood trim around. Love the looks so far, can't wait to see it done. Got a color picked out? Keep up the great work and keep the pics coming.

 

color is going to be an eggplant purple ( almost black) and the interior and garnish moldings in an ivory white, as well as the engine in ivory , it will have wide whites , still deciding on whether to run studebaker hubcaps or paint the rims the body color with spider caps?

 

Nice color choices!

 

Wow, that is the nicest Plymouth chop Ive seen, super nice flow and stance.

Pete-

 

Hey bro, what bags did you use in the front?

 

firestone 2200 or 2500 , cant remember for sure off the top of my head , 1st car i have put bags on

 

Cool thanks man. Looks like they fit up in the pocket pretty good.

 

One nice build! I'm looking forward to seeing this one hit the road!

 

REALLLLY nice car. Can't wait to see the progress.

 

I'm really digging the skirts. Great work man.

 

well been battling a piece of metal in my eye for the past month vision finally back so got some work done this weekend , going to use 1939 ford standard head lights , got hole rough cut and installed , welded up turn signal holes , reworking stainless by cutting and welding spear tip on , so the end of the grill bars flow with the contours of the head lights , also cut and welded up the weird body line on front fender side , will look totally factory when done , small stuff that nobody else will notice when i am done , will have to carry around a picture of a stock car to show most people what it used to look like !
first pic is what iam going for on the left and stock on the right

 

going to remove the tit on the top stainless bar also so the end spears all match

 

Looking killer Dave.

 

those headlights sure do change the look .. i think it looks great ... sure wish i thought of it ...

 

Cool build.

 

Looking killer.

 

Keep up the great work! Looking good!

This is one sweet build. I met you last year at Salina. I got to see your shop. Very cool stuff going on in there and your build quality is outstanding! Can't wait to see done. Keep up the great work!
