Yeah, plus no matter how good you could drive up north, you are still on a road full of other people who have little or no experience on slick roads. When I was a trasnplant northerner in east Texas, I stayed home when it was icey.
I don't really have a build thread but I did post several different threads over the years on certain aspects of the build
Here's the run down on the body. The cowl was a 29 Model A fordor that I cut the windshield posts off and reworked the whole top using the crown section from a 77 T-bird hood. Origins of the windshield frame unknown, $1 swap meet piece I cut down and Veed. Doors are about 23-24 T touring back doors and I added some to the tops using pieces of old window garnish moldings. Rear section is 26-27 T touring and I used more of the T-bird hood to build the door jams that tie the cowl and tub together, bed is a cut down late T or early A. Grille shell is about 34 Chevy car with 4" sectioned out.
