| "Weekend Widow Maker" Or My Wife Hates The Truck...
You know you've got to love it when your sweet wife affectionately renames your beloved Cruiser, the "Weekend Widow Maker".....
Now how does a guy go about wrenching, modifying, fabricating, and generally having fun with his boy toy with a stigma like that?
I'm not above bribery....

| take her wheeling; it's usually the perpetual wrenching that gets onto wives' nerves. It seems to never end........... 
But I enjoy the wheeling so much, I'm making sure my truck doesn't need endless wrenching.

| Very fortunate. She loves tinkering with tools and taking stuff apart, so having her there is part of the fun. When it's all done and it's back on the road she also loves the sound of a throaty small block that ricers lack.
