    I must be missing something, I thought the bodies were the same with minor changes to the firewall and cowl sides?

    ...side cowl area is different, hoods on 46-8's go back to front edge of door, 41's don't...everything from the windshield back is the same.

    here is the official reply,

    41 chevy has it own one year front clip, front outer cowl section and front door, 1942-48 coupe sedan body are the same other wise, except for aeroback body which has its own doors, rear 1/4, truck lid, but shares front clip with all other 42-48, floorpans the same from 41-48. mixing up body parts due to year and body is quite a common problem
