"i ran a t2 with a 1 inch open spacer on my 65 gto, then decided to try an rpm. then decided to try the spacer on the rpm. now i have a tiny little dent in my hood from the air cleaner stud. i need a good reminder that i am stupid every now and again, and that dent is in the perfect spot to remind me pretty often"...
I did that once about 40 years ago. Was helping a friend with his 1967 Chevy II Nova and we just installed a high rise intake and aftermarket carb. Ya, I did some of that stupid chit back in those days before I figured out it was all just bling.
The new shiny parts looked so cool under the hood we were in a big hurry for a test ride. I slammed the hood down, darned thing wouldn't close...WTF? So I slammed it harder and just about got it close with a little extra help from all my weight on the front of it.
I looked up then to see a really nice big dimple in the center of the hood....OOOPS!....
