Okay, so I want to do more work on my car! the car has been restored for something like 13 years now, and still looks purty good. Okay so no problem, right? WRONG. My beautiful and patient wife wants me to get rid of another project before I turn my Duster back into one.

so what needs to go?

I'm glad you asked.......

:wack:
 
The project that has to go is my 1955 Willy's 4x4 truck. I bought the truck some 5 years ago. In that time, I took the truck down to the frame, sand blasted the frame, and por 15 the whole suspension. I then replaced floor pans, and cab corners. oh, and ditched the old hurricain 6 for a 283ci Cheby. and rebuild trans. SO the suspension is all ready to rock and the body work is finished on the cab, but not the truck bed. So this is my que...

Am I better off selling the truck as is? or put some time and money into completing the truck and selling for more doughnuts?

Well, here's what I would do. I would get to work on the Willys and at least get it turn key so it will move under it's own power. Once that's done, then you could start on the Duster. Then you could kinda flip flop back and forth on both.

I'm afraid I would have to put up with the ughs and eye rolls from the wife. No way would I part with the Willys.
 
Nice Willie's No way! I like Bad Sport's idea
 
Tell her the cars keep you out of the bars and chasing women.And if you do not have the cars to keep you busy,guess what is going to happen.I met my wife 20 years ago and on our first date I told her I was into old cars (Mopars) and if she didn't like at anytime down the road she would be gone.Well we have been together 20 years and married 6 and she has never complained about my old cars!!!

I told my wife before we got married, that the cars were here BEFORE you and they will be here WHEN YOU ARE GONE... :finga:


She's gone, and I still have the cars. All of them, and more now. :D


Try explaining it to her this way: If you are out in the garage working on your car, you aren't out chasing other women around town.... Which would she rather have??? :axe:


If she wants to play the game and "cut off your supply", then you can always find a new "source". There's plenty of other fish in the sea. She doesn't have the monopoly on "supply".... And if you have a "demand", and she will not "supply", then you can find a new "supplier"....

Like Ron White says, "If you won't have sex with me for nine months, I will go out and have sex with someone else, I've seen me do it...."

You can always tell her that you are going to "Group Therapy" (without her of course)...

When i first started dating my wife, the moment i realized she was my perfect fit was this one night we stopped at target in South Bend. We get out of my car, and she darts. like seriously runs off...so i'm like what the hell?

well, parked 2 rows over was a yellow 'vette right. So this girl i'm out on a date with runs off to check out this vette, not to bad. Then she looks in the windows, throws her arms in the air and calls the guys a pussy for having an automatic corvette...boom, i'm in love.
