This is Cole my 8 year old grandson working on the golf cart my son uses when camping. He was born 100% gear head. He sanded the golf cart body, prepped it for paint, masked off the entire cart, then painted it with rattle cans, as seen in the attached video's. What 8 year old can use a rattle can to paint anything, he is so amazing. At 8 years old he built his own workshop as he calls it, where he keeps his own hand tools and power tools.
For Christmas last year we bought him a roller seat for his workshop and he was so excited. He is always building or modifying something. One of his projects, he used two old computer speakers and an old radio, by himself wired them into his Ram dually electric pickup. He spends hours on his tablet watching gear head how to video's on youtube. He doesn't play games as most kids, he is constantly watching how to video's on modifying or building engines, working on car's and truck's, how to lay concrete, construction of houses etc.
I have a 2011 Mustang 5.0 I have modified, and he called me last week to tell me, after he had watched another how to video, that I needed to change out my exhaust so my car would sound louder. I have been a gear head for over 50 years, so the apple has not fallen far from the tree. In this case I don't think it fell off at all.
