Had a good friend that was in his seventies that passed away about 3 years ago and fits the bill when it came to being a "go to guy". He had worked on race cars for a big outfit back when NASCAR was in it's infancy, worked for alot of yearts for himself on heavy trucks, was all but a founding member of the AWS and could weld anything that could be welded, as well as one of the kost knowledgable machinist I've ever met. basically if it could be done, Freddy could do it...and if he couldn't he knew someone who could.
By the same token pretty mcuh everyone who knows me would tell you the same things about me that I say about Freddy. Thing is I know I don't know everything and am never afraid to ask a question to learn something new, even if it makes me look 'stupid' for asking. Over the years I've come to the realization that that one quality is a very essential part of being a "go to guy". I think nowdays the problem with many is they think they DO know it all and are afraid to ask a question for fear of being thought to be 'stupid'........as a result they are 'stupid' if for no other reason than they are afraid to ask the questions that the 'go to guys' aren't ........
