For me it's trying to get the windshield out of a TR7 or 8 without  
breaking it

Run a tap through the captive nuts while its still apart and  chase the
threads on your hardware if in any doubt.

Use painters  tape and clean bedsheets on panels to pad them as you get them
on to  prevent scratches, or worse yet - dropping a wrench, screwdriver or
bolt  onto them :(

I just had a car painted and am putting the fenders  and panels back on.  I
think this is probably the most stressful thing  I have done, for various
reasons:
-  Worried about scratching the  new paint
-  Worried that the panels won't fit
-  Worried that  the captured nuts will fail  this one time

Driving a restored car  for the first time comes close, but I think this
takes the prize.   What thinks the list ?
