death threats

Sounds to me like your in over your head.

You didnt have the money to buy the $800 dart sport untill you sold your daily driver ?
And then you drug home a swinger to build a gasser as well. And your building a ratrod as well ?

Where are you going to get the money to build a 400hp 318, and to build the gasser, and to build the slant into a leaning tower of power?

Sorry, but I'm with your wife on this one. Pick one project to work on and see how much its costs to finish it, then if you have the money start on the next one. Dragging home more projects isn't going to help you finish any of them.
