49 Plymouth more door chop

[Mr.Gussett]

Nice job!

Real nice job on the chop!
As far as the skirts go,I would NOT use them but round out the rear wheelwells to match the front ones and drop it another 2 inches!
My $.02
Looks great though!

Wow, that turned out as probably one of the best more door chops on this forum. I think a white roof is in order for this car. Leave out the skirts unless you can find originals (but then you have to paint and sign them)
On my pop's original 60's custom 49 plym, the guys flipped the bumper and ran the exhaust through the bumperettes.

Drive it like you didnt steal it

This thread has been very educational. It makes me positive I'll never try to chop a late model car. Too much thinking involved!
BTW, I was given a chopped '49 Ply 4 door about 5 years ago. It was chopped in 1967 and has under 50,000 miles on it now. My son & I put it back together and he drives it all summer. I don't have a decent picture of it. Your thread helped me realize how much skill and effort went into chopping the Ply we have. Thanks.

Chop looks great. Looks so much better without that big bubble on the back. And I love the skirts. I say keep 'em.......but if you don't, can I buy them?

looks like you need alot more signitures now. Looks great.

This one was chopped in 1967. I thought you might like to see it for a comparison of top profiles. Yours has much more of a custom look. My son occasionally gets asked if he is going to chop this one. Too subtle of a chop for some folks to even notice.

 

[hoitink]

cool how much is it chopped?
