Leave it or Hot Rod it?

What wheels?

I have tried a few different photoshop wheels and she hasn't shown an interest in one set over the other.
Personally I think the TT chrome spokes look really good on it, but that may be because it's yellow right now.

As good an idea as this is, sometimes I think it would be easier to just send her out to search for something she feels is acceptable, then buy it.
My wife likes '59 Ramblers. Not so much now that she knows what they can get for one.
If the price would have dropped just a little she would own the '62 Imperial she spotted one night at Hot August Nights.
She really likes GTO's (which is no problem for me), so when I started to clone a '67 Tempest I had and she figured out the cost she kind of gave up. Too bad. I had everything I need for a nice tri-power automatic.
So I did just what I said. Sent her out. What does she want??? She wants me to buy back my old '73 4-speed 'Cuda. We'll see.
Now she thinks her boat is too slow, and wants me to tweak it.
I'm not convinced a wife can ever be completely happy.

She told me the other day that if she were to let one of her cars go it would be the Dart and keep her 59 Ranchero and do the upgrades to it instead.
This is when we picked it up and drove it home, and I have since replaced the cracked drivers side window, limo tinted them and put a tan cloth Dakota electric seat in it.
Also found another grill in good condition.
It runs pretty good, but could use a motor refresh or replacement.
She uses it to pick up Craigslist and yard sale stuff.
332 cu with a Holley 600.
NONE of the gauges or lights worked at all when we got it, but it all works now and I put a hitch on it for a light duty12 foot trailer that I refurbished for it.
This is actually her favorite.
