Well were can I start. When I met her she had a YJ jeep that she installed the stereo in her self. One of our early dates was an over night tent camping/ snow wheeling trip that she loved. As soon as our last house was 100% finished including grass and flowers she was up for selling it so we could buy a dump with a 1200sq shop in back. She has her own welding gear but has not had the time to learn yet with our 17 month old son running us both around non stop. She likes going to all the car shows with me and on our nights out we better take my 70 SWB if I know what is good for me. Then the topper for our wedding she said it would be cool to have an old car for the pics so what was I to do but go out and buy a 67 SS 396 Chevelle with 30k on the ticker and she was the one pushing me to get it! She has helped pull motors, beds (with my cab/bed lift) and cut parts up with a salzall when needed. She also has a great eye for detail and proportion's so I always ask what she thinks of new mods and she is normally right on even if I don't agree at the time I normally come around and agree.

Yep she's a keeper!
