My wife Lois loves working on her truck. Here are a couple photos as proof. Believe it or not she and I picked up the frame and turned it over (this was before the new cross member and boxing plates) We use a hoist now.



Cleaning up the pedal assembly.





Frame prep. No it's not a dragster, wheels make it much easier to take outside for welding and grinding.

 

Nice! I like that rolling seat she is using too.

 

Excellent idea on the wheels. I'm always working alone and have to come up with crazy, I mean ingenious ideas like that too.

 

A perfect partner!

My wife only comes out to help me when she detects the sounds of things getting thrown in the garage or the colour of my language begins to darken. I think she comes out to calm me down rather than have the neighbour tell me off over the fence.
She came to my aid the other day. Put that rotten division bar in the door in under one minute flat! That was after hearing me complain about it for like, ten minutes....
Don't think I'd get her to help with the chassis tho...

 

My wife comes out to help me when I'm welding.... When we were dating at 50 and 55 years of age, I was showing off by welding on my pig roaster and come to find out she had 3 years of actual training and I was 'self-teaching' with my new mail-order wire feed. I think we are the lucky ones, who's wives don't think we are some kind of deviants because we wrench on stuff, even when we don't actually NEED to. Thanks for posting this!

 

You got yourself one cool wife there Mike.

 

That's what I was trying to say, but Jimmy can say it way fewer words.

 

I have a hard time trying to get the wife clean the house.

Nice way to move the frame.
Reps to you please share them with your wife.

 

I can't believe she isn't using the dish washer
on the smaller parts. If ya don't have one than
maybe ya should get her one.

 

Im getting married next month Do you think i can have the preacher put that in the nuptials. Promise to honor obey and de-rust and restore til death do you part.

 

Looks like you can **** right off the back porch ifn ya need to, and not get arrested. Maybe pop off a couple rounds when the hankerin' calls, even better!

 

I got my wife some golf shoes the other Christmas so she doesn't slip and fall on the ice when she's washing my truck in the winter.

 

My wife comes out to check on me periodically to make sure I don't need an ambulance(so far-so good). Rim-rock, that looks like a nice meditative place to work on your truck.

 

It looks that way but just past the tree is another lot. We are very isolated though. Plenty of places to shoot around the area. I did require one trip to emergency when working on my 56 though.

 

House sits at the top of a 300 foot cliff so neighbors are not much of a problem. We have plenty of peace to do our work.
