This question was answered not long ago. The coupe cowl hinges are spaced exactly the same as the sedan cowl. The "A" pillar on the coupe however is about 1 1/4 inches shorter than the sedan. The difference is from the top of the top hinge to the top of the "A" pillar. I used a coupe cowl to build a fun pickup. If I can remember how I will post a picture here. Adding a spacer and relocating the sun visor screws is the only modification required.
