As...  We want Chris' job bad. As a stay-at-home dad of three (Jesse, 13; Johanna, 9; and Jennelle, 3), he frequently finds time to work on his pride and joy. Wife Ruth brings home the bacon, and Chris is given an allowance of $2,000 per year to spend on his T/A. With that skinny a budget, you know Chris is wheelin' and dealin'. The solo hot-rodding stint is about to end, though, as Ruth is planning her own build-up of a '54 Ford Ranch Wagon.
