I don't know - seems to me - you grab a set of veneers and measure it - some things seem simple

Dave told me he has a blue print from MOPAR on how it is measured - sorry us old school guys are just not up to date


Too bad for Dave - no record - loss of travel costs - loss of entry fee - not to mention him being besmirched
(be·smirch: 1.Damage the reputation of (someone or something) in the opinion of others)

Watch out new COPOs it has happend to the other two brands

Unfortunately, most people don't care about whose fault it was or why it happened. To them "You got bounced in teardown" or worse yet "You got caught cheating"
