The woodie and relatives are very nicely done.

That's a totally plausible Woody, something Ford might have actually done either as a concept or a production vehicle. The blue and wood look stunning together.

So, if you wanted '50 Ford 4 door Woody, you had to buy the truck version?

There were a few after-market coachbuilders that built truck based Woodies back in the day. This may be an example of a F-1 based Woody.

That came out great! I've toyed with a similar mashup, but I'm planning to retain the F-1 cowl and windshield on mine.

Interesting concept, great execution!

I was hoping to use the F-1 windshield but was surprised at how much narrower it is than the 41. That being the case I joined the two cowls just under the 41 windshield and faired everything together with putty.

That's okay- I THINK I've found a way to work around the differences in width. As to how well my idea will work, I guess you'll find out when I do.
