As a female wrench'er who grew up being told that mechanic stuff was for boys and she couldn't follow her interest I would like to encourage you to encourage your daughter to get out there with you if she is interested! | | | Re: Just got a sweet Texas Chevy van | Joined: Oct 2018 Posts: 75 Likes: 2 journeyman | OP journeyman Joined: Oct 2018 Posts: 75 Likes: 2 | Thanks for the warm welcome, Vanners!
Nikothenomad, my daughter (Maya) loves gettin' dirty and I am thankful for her interest. Yes, I do encourage her and teach her what I know. At 12, she can lay a pretty good bead with the MIG. I'm just kind of worried when she gets into it with the angle grinder. One time she angled it just so it caught on the metal wrong and kicked back up at her. But she's coming along well.
And yesterday Maya told me she wants to document the build on YouTube. So hopefully we'll see her handy work beginning January. | | | Re: Just got a sweet Texas Chevy van | Joined: Jun 2010 Posts: 1,080 Likes: 1 old hand | old hand Joined: Jun 2010 Posts: 1,080 Likes: 1 | Excellent. Love Maya's interest! I haven't done much body work so she's way ahead of me in that department but I am all about taking the engine and suspension and other components apart and doing what I can. My preference is to rebuild the original parts if I can rather than replace but as long as I am turning a wrench and getting dirty I am thrilled as can be! Have you seen this? https://girlsautoclinic.com She may be interested to see that there are women out there running their own mechanic business. Either way, glad you let her get out there with you. Wish I had more opportunity when I was younger but making up for it now! | | | Re: Just got a sweet Texas Chevy van | Joined: Oct 2018 Posts: 75 Likes: 2 journeyman | OP journeyman Joined: Oct 2018 Posts: 75 Likes: 2 | Fantastic link, Niko. I'll show Maya when she gets back from her Girl Scout outting. Have a wonderful weekend. | | |
