Welcome to the group. That Plymouth is actually pretty sweet, the chop looks great on it. Kinda looks like a '56 Ford at a quick glance, but definitely nice.

What are your plans for it?

Social welcome in , and realy great find . Roof fits great for the look . There is a member here with i think the same Plymouth . I did read a great tech article on cutting and welding the stainless to fit chops . It was on early 50 Chevy but still a great article . I'll look for it and link it in a pm tonight.

Welcome to the forum. That's going to be one sweet Plymouth when you finish it.

Welcome to CHR! Your Plymouth is nice looking with a tremendous amount of potential. It could definitely be one very fine kustom.

Don't forget to post a lot of pictures as you complete your build. We really love pictures.

Dave is working on one like it right now and he has been known to cut into cars with rekless abandon!! Welcome, you'll fined all the help you'll need here.

thanks all, the car has the original 270. been rebuilt with a mild cam, hi-rise weiand intake and 4bbl.. push button auto. pretty much i'm going to put it together as it is and make sure the drivetrain is good. i kinda want to keep it like how they were done in the '60's i guess. i don't really want to cut the frame. there are custom interior panels made never been installed. i guess i just want to make it a nice hot rod to cruise around, nothing to fancy. here is a picture of the back window. the frame and glass is from a 1950 ford and it has been laided down. it is a really nice job who ever did it.

Welcome - that looks like a sweet Plymouth. Chopped just right.
Really looks good from the back!

I need to spend some time at ClubChopper.
Got a '94 Ultra Classic I want to get 'down'.
That high center of gravity is killing me.
It always feels like it wants to tip over - and it has, a few times trying to push it around!!! Had to leave it laying down till I got some help to lift it.

My '77 FLH is stripped of faring, bags and crash bar, and with a replacement seat, sits pretty good. And I can pick it up if I need to!!!!
