How many thumbs do you have?

No matter how many thumbs you think you have or more precisely, how little ability you think you don't have to work on your ride, I guarantee that this video will change your thinking.

Re: How many thumbs do you have?

COol video. Seems like a pretty talented guy! Not a bad taste in vehicles either!

im working on building my dream truck as a T-9 paraplegic. It aint easy but so far have managed 90% of the work on my own. basicly paint and some of the body work is going to be done by a friend.

No matter what your situation, i believe you can come up with way to do just about anything you want.

Re: How many thumbs do you have?

Awesome. lots of old Chevies too. Lots of creative solutions. I like the attitude of the parents, that helped solve all the problems so that he could be a normal kid. I'd like to see how his steering pedal works. Must be electro servos or something.? Great video. Thanks for posting it. Saved as a favorite for those days when I feel I just can't do anything or get anything accomplished.

Re: How many thumbs do you have?

Yeah it is pretty inspiring to see just how he adapts to life.
I went to school with a kid that did not have arms either and it was amazing to see all that he could do.
