When I was with Parnelli Jones Racing in the early 70's, we would take the race car panels to the "Hippie" in the afternoon. Leave two cases of beer and a bag of dope. In a few days, we would go back and pick up the parts with a beautiful Imron paint job completed. Never saw the "Hippie" but man what a painter! :shock:
