Topic: Need advice for Chopping my 49 Plymouth P18

[MOJOBUBBA]

I would like to chop my 49 Plymouth P18. It is a two door fastback and looks like a tough chop. I would rather not reccess the trunk, but looks like it would be hard to keep the existing lines without doing so. ANY ADVICE?

If you don't angle the trunk area it will look like a flat top , that would just be wrong . I don't see anyway of doing it without working on the trunk .

maybe chop the front and wedge it like some do there bugs? looks like a tough one !!

I have to agree, really is no way around working on the trunk.....will look good if you do..

Thanks for the feedback guys. I have some pics of a fastback Chevy, has very similar lines. I guess I'll have to give it a go.

Good luck , it will tough !

You don't have to recess the trunk into the body. You can pancake the deck lid its self to get the flow depending on how much you chop it

I contact the glass guy that going to make the glass work. If they do glass for chops chances are they have great advise. I have a great guy if you don't have one. He's done thousands of chops.
