What proves Face is mechanical in the series? That he's really good with his hands and building/fixing things without the assistance/guidance of one of the others?
Today I was rereading Book 34 of my EPIC fan fiction and I came across this line from Murdock: “This here is the fuse box,” he told her. She turned to listen and watch. He pulled open the door. He pointed to the labels. “I’ve pretty much labelled everything. It’s not that difficult to navigate. Even Faceman should be able to do it.”
Murdock is just teasing there. But I started to think... Wait a second... Is Face at the same level as the other three in terms of engineering/building/mechanics? I immediately thought of him relying on Frankie's advice for the brakes on the vette. I mean, that car was his baby. Certainly he knew enough about cars to have either fixed it himself or not really listen to this stranger's advice about his car.
Then my brain jumped to Face wearing a suit when they were doing a build. I can't remember exact examples of this, but I know it happened. Then I thought about him getting out of work so the others were doing all the work... And I suddenly thought... What if when Face does complete things in a build, it's because one of the others gave him explicit instructions. Otherwise he was a little clueless?
Can you cite examples where Face showed he was as brilliant with mechanical things as the others?
