AMT 34 Ford 3 window coupe

That batch of parts had a body  and wondering if the parts from the 2 door sedan could be used to build it.

Probably not, the 3W is misshapen and shares nothing with the later, better 5W.

I believe the Tudor Sedan are of the same vintage as the 3 Window Coupe, I don't know for sure as I don't have either of them but parts from the Tudor can for sure work, but the 5 Window Coupe was a different tool all together.

No, sedan and 5W coupe use the same chassis (different fenders).  3W coupe is all by itself.

What Mark said.  They are entirely different kits; they share no common parts and nothing fits between the two.  The AMT '34 3W kit was widely rejected - even with the less demanding modeling expectations of the mid 1970's when it was released - due to its numerous inaccuracies and marginal fit/finish.  It has never been reissued, and I don't expect it to be in the future, either. 

Also as Mark said, the AMT '33/'34 Sedan and '34 5W Coupe kits, however, do share a number of parts, including the entire engine/chassis layout.  But again, the sedan was widely rejected when it was intro'ed in the late 1980's.  The 5W Coupe kit was a far better effort.  It has been issued in stock (along with a few hop-up parts) and Street Rod versions.  It has also been reissued a number of times since it's initial mid 1990's introduction.

Well as it was 8-9 years between the Tudor Sedan and the 5 Window Coupe I thought they were more different than they are and not based on the same basic tooling, but appearently that's the case.
I have never had the 33 or 34 Tudor Sedan so I don't know how it is, but I have a couple of the 34 5 Window Coupe and they are nice kits.
