My wife goes nuts, and buys me my dream car, for Christmas, model A coupe, "the one"

I've been dreaming, about owning, a 30-31 model A coupe, for ever and ever.
I had been looking around for a while for one, but most were crap. I talked to a friend and he told me that his buddy Aaron Kahan (also a Chopper) had a coupe in his backyard.
I looked at it a few days later and realized that this car, was it, no rust to speak of, straight body, everything there, except motor and trans.
I was in love and told my wife a couple of hours later about finding my dreamcar, and she was less then enthusiastic about it, "another pile of shit in our backyard" etc.
Despite my wife Gloria, I decided to go ahead and set up a payment plan with Aaron and buy the car.
That's when it got weird. He told me someone else had first dips on the car and he needed two weeks, to get the other dude to come up with the cash, I called Aaron, he would not return my calls, called again, nothing.
About two weeks ago I was soooooooo ticked off at Aaron, for not getting back to me, I bitched to Gloria, about how I was pissed at him.
It turned out that Gloria, called Eddie who knew Aaron and made a deal, without my knowledge.
Then she came clean and brought me a piece of paper, it was a bill of sale, and said Merry Christmas. I was floored, it was the best gift ever. She purchased the car from Aaron with the help from Eddie Nunez (Munster, on the Hamb)
All I have to say is, that my wife rules and I love her. She fullfilled my car obsession to the fullest.
Thanks to, Eddie, Aaron, and of course Gloria.

Aaron told me the car was built in 1962 in Barstow CA, by some kids, and it ran around that area, as a full fendered rod. It had a 350 with a 39 lincoln trans. It then later was purchased by Aaron and an unnamed partner, 6 years ago at the La Roadster show.
They then sandblasted the body and frame, boxed the frame and coated everything with a gray primer. Aparently there are pictures around of the car from back in the day, but I havent gotten or seen them yet.
Here are some pictures
