Dave:
I suggest stories and awards to prove your "OF-dom". A quick one from me:
I fabricated two new sheetmetal clips to hold the fresh air intake duct
onto the cowl of my TR7 (The Ugly Wedgling). I carefully drilled holes in
the brackets - spacing them by eye - then equally carefully drilled holes
in the cowl to match them. I then pop-riveted the first clip in place by
setting a rivet in the first of the two holes. When I went to set the
second rivet I realized that I had mounted the bracket backwards and it
would never line up with the second hole. After drilling it off, reversing
it and re-riveting it I did exactly the same stupid thing on the other side
of the car.
Perhaps we could offer awards or formal titles to truly dedicated OF
blunders and OF remarks.
