So far my wife isn't with it, but I'm not giving up hope!

Sorry....I think that dude is a bit obsessed. I had an obsession with a few cars once now I've been divorced now for 5 years. You'd think I can have anything I want now but divorce is not cheap. A word of advise....take care of your wife if you have one and don't let your hobby get away from you. I always thought my wife was in to it especially after 22 years of marriage......I guess I thought I knew her!

It doesn't matter if you take care of your wife or not, some stay, most go. I've had some women I've taken great care of , they still split. I know some women who are married to absolute assholes, and the women stay. That's only about 5% of women though. It's our current society, women "feel" they might get a better deal elsewhere, there are no penalties for leaving, in fact they get parting gifts, spousal support, child support, half your stuff, so they split.

See MGTOW.com

Cool house, it needs a bigger garage, maybe with a lift.

I've found a balance of the things you love in life goes a long way. The car is kind of like the mistress. So far so good, it's been 16 years.

Cool car and house, but that guy is nuts.

My wife is cool enough to have done the drawings for the garage build and will do the interior finishing work (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Yeah, I usually have to wait until she goes out for a long day of shopping to pull that stunt. Same with baking painted parts in the oven (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)

When I restored my car, I'd get each component all done and perfect, and bring into my living room. . . after 6 months I had the whole car, minus the tub and motor spread out nicely on the floor. . .
reassembling was a breeze. . just go inside and get the like new parts and bolt it up. .

Nope, not married. . not sure many gals would put up with that. .
Here is one small portion

I restored a motorcycle in my living room. I have one sitting in there now. I'm planning on rebuilding my engine in there also. It's warmer than my garage. I have white carpet, I just lay down some plastic, plus with new parts they are perfectly clean.

Oddly enough I don't have a wife either. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

Guys, you just have to find the right gal.

Been married 21 years. A few years ago i decided to build a tank.......... My wife helped me build the tracks, in our living room while we watched The winter Olympics, figure skating. It's all about a little compromise. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smoke.gif)

Once you both got it all assembled how did you get it out of the living room?

Maybe just drove it out the side wall, and then called the contractor to fix the hole in the wall?

Sorry to hijack this thread, but you build a M1A1 Abrams and are just going to pot one picture? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) Do you have any more you can share?

Building that makes restoring a 914 look like a toy.
