Well I decided to chop the old plymouth

I ended up chopping the front 4" and took 5" out of the rear.

Here you go lots of pics enjoy.

The before of the beast.

Now I need some feedback. Not sure about the skirts I will be dropping the rear of the car some more.

The skirts make it look killer. But I think the car needs to go down a bit more.
 
Wow, great job getting everything reworked and lined back up!

I don't like the skirts at that height..
but I think if you drop the whole car down 3" it might look good with the skirts
 
I like the skirts. The car needs to go LOWER.


Thanks for all of the pics. Good work. I`m a little upset though. I think you cut out my name. I signed on the left from pillar. Just kidding. :)
 
Nice work!

Hoitink,
Very nice work on the chop, thanks for sharing! I like it with or without the shirts!

ISore
 
lol the car is lowered already 3" in the back and 2" in the front but yes the back will be going lower yet. Just not a 100% on the front as I drive the **** out of that thing all summer, And need it to ride nice and not get stuck in the middle of the dirt roads around here lol

I am not much for sacrificeing drivability for looks either. Driving a car has to be at least as important as how it looks. I almost never like skirts but that style of car was begging for them. Nice work. I really like the way the back window came out.
 
Great Work; I like the skirts they set it off just right. The top is KILLER. Thanks for the pics. I take it this is not your first chop, Am I correct. LOOKIN GOOOOOD. :D:D
