This 1941 Plymouth Business Coupe is a prime example of a home-built hotrod. The owner, Don Moody of Port Angeles, Washington, has had the car for five years and went into the project with an honest DIY attitude. He only just finished the car this year.

“It was rusty when I got it,” he explained. “The floors were gone, door posts were gone, and the quarters were pretty much gone too.” He bought this car because he was looking for a streetrod to build and this was something different, something you don’t see all that often. “I wanted to build it.”

He did all of the bodywork and paint and took the project all the way down to the frame. He found a shop where the guy didn’t just do the work, but instead had Don help and taught him how to work on it as they went. Now not only can he say that he really did do the work on his car, but Don has the skills to do another one if he wanted to down the line.

Don has a dual 500cfm Edelbrock carburetors fueling the 331 cubic-inch Hemi engine out of a ’55 Chrysler New Yorker that’s powering his Plymouth. The transmission is a Tremec 5-speed manual and the drivetrain is finished out with a Chrysler 8.8-inch rearend with 3.73:1 gearing. It’s built for more than just looks.

We love Don’s Plymouth, and we’d love to see what you guys are driving out there. If you love it, odds are good that we will too, so shoot us an email with a couple pictures and a little information on your ride, you might just see it here as one of our Street Features. Still a work in progress? Now worries, we’d always like to see a project for our What Are You Working On series.
