    Saturday I went to a auction in Perris and picked up a 1935 Ford Pickup it's missing the motor ,rear fenders,glass and its a roller.Needs patch on one door and rocker.
    The Model A is all apart,it's a 31 pickup cab,bed,boxed frame,ford 8 inch rearend,front end,steel wheels,small block and auto trans.Needs usually patch panels on cab.My question is:which would you keep.I like them both and having a hard time deciding.I'll try to get some pictures posted when my digital is recharged.

    Get rid of the wife, it will be cheaper in the long run.

    Keep the '35 definitely. I hate that she's having to make you choose but you are fortunate to be able to keep one so yeah....definitely the '35.

    Sell the A, keep the 35, more room,less fab. work to build.

    Go into the wifes closet, divide all her clothes shoes and jewelry then make her choose which stuff she wants to go along with your project.

    Your best bet (if you have a takeaway nearby) is to Ebay the missus.
    Then you get to keep both wagons , and after a good bonfire you'll find you have loads of rooms to fill with car parts !

    SORTED:D

  20. I like the '35 simply because of the larger cab, if nothing else.

    You're kidding, right? She's 'making' you get rid of a car? Get rid of BOTH of the cars and look for a set of balls..........:D

    C'mon, you're kidding us, aren't you? ;)
     
  22. When I met my girlfriend I told her I wouldn't ever choose between a car and her. And she accepted it :)

    I guess she would probably like me to finish one before I get side tracked and get another one.

    Tell her you'll miss her. When will people learn, marriage is the #1 cause of divorce.

    Get your balls back, and build em both! Forget what the wife says, she won't stay mad forever. And remember, "It is always easier to ask for forgiveness, than to ask permission!"

    My wife has never made me choose. Does your wife have an addiction as you do? Call her on it, and see if she will sacrifice. Perhaps I'm just lucky, or we're both just nuts. I like em both, tough choice, Good Luck!

    When my wife starts trying to tell me what to do I stop her dead in her tracks, and tell her that isn't the way it's going to be. End of story.
