.....We got our tax money back and we had planned on installing cupboards in the laundry room (I would install) and my wife tells me that she wants me to take that money and get the rest of the parts I need for the Tran! She said she can wait a year for the cupboards... What a gal!

Would I be a butt hole if I took the money to use on the truck? I know, I'm asking the wrong group here...




Damn, "I'M" in love with her.... =D>

You wanna make her day? Bring her home a dozen roses and a HANDWRITTEN card letting her know how much you love, appreciate and adore her. I promise you that it'll be the best gift you could ever give to a woman of that calibre?

PS: Does she have a sister or cute mommy? :smurf:
Peter....

I ordered $1200.00 in cupboards last Friday :heart: . Now I will have to set back awhile until I get my stimulus package! I've got some sand blasting to do...

Now I need to figure out the headers, get computer and software. I just placed an order with Summit yesterday for a bunch of small stuff.

The rest of the photos are on my photo site under 383 engine. Look down at the bottom.
