Not realizing that the car runs differently depending on whether it's on or off. And if you don't have a removable TP, then you have to "guess and check" your settings, which is a ridiculous PITA. Bob's work of art is very straightforward and simple, you just unlatch the four Terry Body Springs, and then lift the upper half of the TP right over the carb. It's really no different than just removing the air cleaner assembly. I've had them safety wired for the last ten years or so, but it's really not necessary.

So undo the springs and it's off!?! It doesn't get much handier than that!
