Going to fix the body rust, build some crazy ground effects and chop the top! Brought it home and washed off 20 years of dust/dirt.

Will be welding cross braces inside to keep minimal flexing. Will start laying out with tape how much to chop and what angle.

Perfect blank canvas. One question though... What is the deal with the "Otis" can hanging from the passenger side sunvisor? | | | Re: My 72 Dodge Chop Project | Joined: Jul 2009 Posts: 6,256 Likes: 164 Master Metal Sculptor | OP Master Metal Sculptor Joined: Jul 2009 Posts: 6,256 Likes: 164 | I disconnected the fuel tank to either clean or replace and have that with a valve/line run to the carb temporarily to run. Going to replace the engine and transmission (it’s a 6 cylinder and it’s tired....it runs but not well) | | | Re: My 72 Dodge Chop Project | Joined: Jan 2014 Posts: 2,290 Likes: 137 veteran | veteran Joined: Jan 2014 Posts: 2,290 Likes: 137 | I disconnected the fuel tank to either clean or replace and have that with a valve/line run to the carb temporarily to run.

I robbed a plastic gas tank off of a push mower I was scrapping years ago, and that's my go-to hanging gas can now. | | | Re: My 72 Dodge Chop Project | Joined: Feb 2016 Posts: 1,266 Likes: 43 old hand | old hand Joined: Feb 2016 Posts: 1,266 Likes: 43 | If this turns out anything like your other wild dodge, this one is gonna be cool! I’m very interested to see what you do with ground effects.
