My friend’s son

[Fervantmender]

Had a nice evening with friends yesterday disassembling the 71 charger. My friends son loved every minute of it. His father a Chevrolet man.
Today we get to work his father says I’m a bad influence on his kid.
He said last night “Daddy we need a project car.”
Dad humoring him pulls out his phone “how bout this Nova boy”
The son “Well I don’t like that one we need a Dodge car”
We had a good laugh over it.
I think the hobby is just fine

Chebby dad needs to learn the proper way to hold a drill, and stance, so he can teach his son how to prevent drill torque from ripping his arm off, or doing damage to the car.

We all learn over time. This was being disassembled you really think a scratch is going to matter that much?

No, a scratch wasn't my main concern. Seeing the boy in an awkward stance with no control over the drill, and possibly being hurt, was. I doubt that li'l cordless drill, like his daddy's chevy, has much torque. But any adult with tool safety sense, watching this should teach him ,,,, before he tries it later with a 1/2 inch corded drill.

The kid knows,what looks good.
Definitely not anything that says "Nova"

Hopefully he realizes you can restore 3 Novas for the price of one Super Bee.

Chevrolets are good starter cars.

Well teach us my 1/2" corded has 2 foot of handle. If its going to catch it will. Why they ever designed it with a trigger lock was just plan stupid. Also no stance is doing to protect from the damage that thing is capable of.
If you allow kids to use power tools making sure they are size appropriate and all safety features intact.

Teach you what ? I agree with everything in your statement. A trigger lock can be dangerous. And if one grabs - there's nothing you can do. Regardless of your stance. With that in mind, wouldn"t you rather see someone, who is untaught, to be in a position more unlikely to torque their arm ?

There should be a safe setting on there even for him and if set on impact all the better.
If he is that slow a learner maybe he should not be there. I just dont see that in this case.
