Actually guys that's my other grandSON Austin.....just before a haircut (although it's still a bit longish). The "lunch box" is actually his first tool box......a handfull of cheap wrenches, a crescent wrench and pair of safety glasses. Right now that box is enough for him, but I have a smaller roller chest that needs refurbished set aside for him when he outgrows it.
I usually babysit him for a few hours a couple days a week while his mom is taking college (and grandma's working). I'm a firm believer you can't start them too young.

Whiplash as far as Cade getting the keys to the truck, he's already asked about the little 87 Ram 50 I put the small block in
I think he things the 37 is too far away from being driveable. I may have headed that off though. We talked yesterday about the possibility of starting on the 74 Mustang II his grandma used to drive (it got parked with a tired engine a few years ago) this summer. It's got a 2.3 that shouldn't be too bad to go thru and we would probably pull the automatic out and put the 4 speed back in. Basically a drive train I would trust a 16 year old with
Of course that would be dependent on his grades which at this point could stand a bit of improvement.
.I've NEVER seen a car come from the factory that couldn't be improved.....
Sorry for your loss of friend Mike McGee, Shine. Great trans men are few and far between, it seems. Sadly, Mike Frade was only 66 and had been talking about retirement for ten years that I know...
