    Its that white stuff on the ground.....and it makes things very, very interesting while driving with a T axle in the front and Stock Mechanical A brakes in the rear!

    Do you have any more photos/info on the car in the background of your avatar? That one looks pretty cool too.

    My wife loved the double ****-er comment. We once hauled our Christmas tree home in central Illinois in around 6" of snow in the back of our stock original 1926 T touring. And a few times in a 1929 Model A 2-door. Those things handled surprisingly well in snow.
    One thing I love thinking about are those older skinny tired cars in snow, mud, and muck in the vintage photo thread. Must have been some amazing experiences.

    Love this car! Been following for quite a while, but don't know why I haven't left a comment? :confused:

    Anyhow, nice work and keep up the great work. Would love to see this car up close sometime.

    I was actually was a member of the N.W.V.S a few years back when I was building my T the first time around. I need to re-join....would love to do a tour. When are the meetings?

    My uncle is putting on a speedster run Labor day weekend on Leavenworth, Wa this year. If your interested I can forward you the info. You'd be more than welcome to bring your roadster up and run it.
