Differences between a 41 frame and a 40 frame
I keep thinking about Dennis Carpenters new 40 Ford coupe. Will a 41 Ford coupe frame work on a 40 coupe? I have a 41 Ford couple and somebody used it for patch panels and there is not much left of the body.

Go to Wescotts web site and get the 40 Body mount locations and check them against your 41 frame. I would be surprised if they were even close, but I've never checked.

Re: Differences between a 41 frame and a 40 frame
No good - totally different. 41 car frames are more like the later model 42-48 cars.
Keep checking here and on the the HAMB - I've seen frames for sale close to you that were reasonably priced ..... matter of fact, I've seen running 40 Ford coupes for sale complete that were cheaper that Carpenter's body alone. |

Most of the body is still on my 41.

Re: Differences between a 41 frame and a 40 frame
41 Passenger frames are a one year wonder. Similar to the 42-48 from the firewall back.
Attached is a scan of a 46-48 diagram from an old body shop repair manual. |
