Sorry about the crummy pic So I had the pneumatic squeezer all lined up, with the post of the dimple die through the hole, but as I moved the lever, I had a seizure or something and it moved. I'm wondering what my options are, considering this happens to be a hole that is marked as an attachment for the empennage fairing. I'm not really hot on ordering things from Van's since it seems to take more than a week to deliver anything even though I'm 3 hours away

Actually, if that is one of the fairing attach holes you might be OK. You can enlarge and smooth out the hole, then just put a nutplate behind it for the fairing attach - no one will ever know.
Ditto to all of the above. I think we have pretty much all done the same thing at some point on a skin or somewhere. Looks like your going ot get by with no new aluminum.

Excellent, thanks! I went ahead and sprayed it with primer in the hopes that it would work one way or another, so I sould be able to finish up the VS today, then I'll be all stabilized
