It's gonna be hard to hide a chassis man. What I wanna know is hoe in the hell do you hide the money you spend? You are gonna love the frame from Jeff. I have assembled about 10 of them for Jeff at his shop. It's a great product. Don't be afraid to call him if you have any questions.

The cars are ALOT more fun when the wife and family are included. Some members are obviously more into cars than others, but it makes it more special when you can share. Just MO.

Exactly, my wife knows every car I have and whenever I get something new, the first thing she always asks is "when are you going to lower it?"

I can do you one better... i'm in the laundry room and see a bottle of bleach sitting out, half gone. I ask, "want me to put the bleach back?", she says, "i'm not using bleach anymore, i was saving that half bottle so you can do burnouts"

I only have my Camaro but I didn't tell my wife about it until it was on the way up from TX. She was pissed and very hurt that I didn't tell her about it. The reason I didn't say anything was due to the fact that we had jut bought our house and moved in that same week and I knew that she would want all kinds of new stuff before I bought a car. Once it got here I made it a point to have her involved in everything that was done to or with the car. She actually enjoys the car a great deal. I also made sure to get things around the house done in a timely manner as proof that the car wasn't keeping what she sees as the bigger priority from happening. I was lucky and it's all worked out well for me.

You've already sinned and now it's time to make up for it. How you handle it will determine the outcome. The fact that you have so many cars is going to be the big challenge. Perhaps an agreement of some type on how many cars you have at anyone time would be in order. Also getting her input on what's done to the car won't hurt. I'd bet the big hurt she feels is being left out of the process and the fact that you hid the car.

Take your lumps and GOOD LUCK!!

Wow...all I can say is I hope you got her a nice gift on V.D. Its sometimes easier to ask for forgiveness than permission on the car addiction. I hid a car from my finacee and she still hasnt gotten over it...so find her weakness and buy her something....shoes...jewlery...or just ask SW how he does it. He seems to be able to have all the toys he wants.. If she tells you to sell some of your cars...can I have dibs on the bird?

Tell her it was on sale and you HAD to buy it because you saved so much money.

Hell, isn't that the story they use..

Yeah you're going to have to come clean real soon...there's now way you are going to hide the crated up chassis!

My God Father had property and always was hiding project cars in the trees as well as at friends houses. When he passed one, his wife found out about most of them...I think his friends kept some stuff knowing she had no idea what all he owned....

Do you have room in your shop for the car?
