I walked in to get my air cond compressor replaced. I walked out with a new air compressor, 383 engine, radiator with duel spal fans. breaks, rotors, trailing arms and a carb.. Oh and for some reason my wife is mad at me.

More than likely it's something you did wrong 3 years ago.
She'' save the "Vette Overhaul Extravaganza" for a really good reason to be mad!

Always easier to ask for forgiveness than permission. Spend a nice weekend with her, take her out- McDonald's now after all the dough you threw down on Corvette parts- and she will forget all about it.

My wife is softening up a little bit. The cars are addicting, I did the same thing to my first vette except that turned into a frame off! Good thing this one doesn't need it, or does it? LOL Its a nice white 1971 4 speed, I checked it out as best as I could but I guess not good enough. It had a cracked head but where it was I couldn't see it but It didn't go all the way through yet.. I'll post some pics soon.

Now would probably be a good time to get the car painted and a new set of wheels as the wife is already mad. Once a wife reaches a certain level of mad you can pretty much do as you please because they can't get any madder.
