Re: how do you get new parts past the wife?

I keep the finished(2) trucks at the house. The rest is at the shop.........down a mile of sandy road about 7 miles from the house. What she doesn't see won't hurt me

Re: how do you get new parts past the wife?

I guess i'm a good con artist when it comes to getting another truck but shes had enough of it. Two of them are getting parked at my moms house with "For Sale" signs on them. I get to keep a daily driver and my project truck.

Re: how do you get new parts past the wife?

We are all whupped one way or another by the women we love, thats why we are so sneaky at times. There logic is never the same as ours so we just have to find ways around those hurdles. What they can't see doesn't exist. Buy on fella's!

Re: how do you get new parts past the wife?

I have a separate (secret) account that I put $100 in every payday. I told the bank to not send any mail to my house. I send all the parts to my neighbor and he puts them over the fence. lol..I just he doesn't get pissed at me. As as my wife knowing, She thinks old vehicles are ugly so I can do whatever I want to it and she will never pay enough attention to know it was changed.

Of Course my theory will be tested when I buy new shoes for my truck
