2 things you need to know...

The 48 hour rule - You have 48 hours upon procuring said item and leaving it in sight of the Mrs.. After 48 hours, you are legitimately able to say, "that old thing? had it since forever".

and

The prices you pay rule -

#1. The price you actually paid for the item
#2. The price you tell the wife you paid for the item
#3. The price you pay when the wife finds out how much you actually paid.

I think my GF has figured out that the price I paid is usually double what I told her. It s like asking them how many partners they had in the past.

Funny last month my wife asked me how much i've spent on my project.

I quickly replied less then you've spent on shoes and cloths in the last five years.

Dirt bikes in the past and shotguns now...... The way I see it is, I am not lieing if I dont tell. now.... all the shotguns blend in together so she doesnt care to know the difference and I am not allowed to own dirt bikes anymore or I will be served divorce papars..... On your car..... good luck man! The only way I can see to bail yourself out of it now is to come clean Its up to you as to how many details you care to devulge. It always starts out like " my good buddy "insert name here" has a really good deal on that Camaro he has been working on because he cant afford to finish it. ... Like a good shoe sale... she might understand it. Whatever you do... you cant flat out lie... it simply aint worth it.

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

You nailed it on the head with this.

What I would do is make sure she sees the frame being delivered. When she comes and asks "whats this for" you say the Camaro. Better yet, say OUR frame for OUR Camaro. Might throw her off a bit, then it would probably be a good time to go get the Camaro. Its a sure-fire way to get your ass kicked, but at least it would be a good story!
