Answer 1

Don't let anyone discourage you if you are serious. Exercise is always a good thing.

I know small skinny men that are very good mechs. Size isn't a problem. Most lifting is done with jacks winchs and hydraulics.

I'm assuming you'll enter a basic course so some may know more than you. Some will say they do but really won't.  Study hard and you'll do okay.

Class will probably start in a classroom going over engine basics and other systems. Remember - if some guy can do it so can you.

Good Luck from a proud father of a great daughter.

Answer 2

I don't see why you wouldn't be able to fix cars?

I mean you're not going to have to lift up a transmission or anything, they have those little cranes and stuff for that.

You should totally not listen to what anyone says. If that is something that makes you happy, then you do it for you. Don't let anyone else tell you that you are incapable. Because in the end you are the only one who can make you incapable.
