'40-'41 Plymouth Hood Swap

[Flathead239]

Just picked up a '41 Plymouth Business Coupe about a month ago. Runs and drives so we are not going to change a thing.  We are longtime Ford people so bare with us and the odd questions. Yesterday we were told of another Business Coupe for sale but this one is a '40.  Don't know much about these cars (yet) but did notice that the hoods are different. '41 is one piece, '40 is split.  Don't really care for the looks of a split hood so was wondering if it is possible to put a '41 hood on a '40 body?  Any information would be greatly appreciated, at least till I learn more about these cool Plymouth's.

I've certainly never tried it but 40-41 share basic body shells. So I would think there's a good chance of it. You might have to swap entire front clips to make it work out.

I would think the hinge mounting and the nose latch would be the problem areas.

I have a 1940 Plymouth with the split hood and I looking for the setup that hinges the hood in the center. If you do the swap I would love to pick that up. Thanks and please let me know

Thanks to everyone who gave opinions and info. I'm gonna do a little more research and see if it can be done fairly easily. I'll keep everyone posted. Thanks again!
