I have a 13 year old son and have been trying to get him more involved with the car. He loves riding in it but never really wanted to help.

This weekend I changed the battery cables and got him to help. He really enjoyed it. He got all greasy and had a good time. Now he wants to know whats next.

I have alot more projects I'm thinking about.

On the plus side small limber 13 yearold hands fit in alot of places that my larger 43 year old hands don't.

Good job Larry.

I am always happy to see the young generation get into the old car hobby.
It is a great father and son bonding project and he will appreciate the rides more, knowing he contributed. If he does not like greasy hands, get him some rubber gloves (I use em...)
It can also help teach him how to care for his own car when that time comes. Knowing very basic things like 'why change the oil', and 'what does the coolant' will help prepare him for future vehicle ownership. (In fact those questions should be on driver license tests...)

Ah grease, a young teens best friend! What's next, slide him in through the spark plug holes and have him clean the valves from the inside. Glad to see him enjoying it.

Yea and after a couple of years it can lead to building a car for him, it keeps a common interest between father and son.

Hey - another great "let the pets help" idea...
Those little white mice are just the right size...

Can I borrow him for some under dash work?
