My idea is to cast another 40 and cut it at the belt line but keep more of the hood. Then take and cut the 37 to the belt line and eliminate most of the ugly cowling on top and just shape the 40's into it. Not really that much work to it. I'll shoot ya some pics as I go along

I started that way, but when I cut the fenders of the 40 and tried to match the body to the 37 fenders, The openings on the 40 didn't come close to matching the 37. That's why I went this way. It seemed a bit easier. You might get it to work. If you need a few cut up bodies for the project, let me know. I'll make a few up for ya
