Thanks COOP, so while the 41-48 body (firewall back) is the same, it is the front fenders, hood and some mounting stuff (wishbone extender, motor mounts, etc) - that were used to accommodate the longer front-end of the Merc.

What you're showing in the pics is a 39 Merc . . . is this "firewall forward" situation the same in the 41 - 48 Mercs as compared to Fords? Longer fenders, longer hoods, etc?

I have a 40 Merc coupe - so this stuff interests me!
