Ha! Blame it on the "Agent Orange". Reminds me of how we used to blow the dust off the brakes at Dad's gas station. Excuse me....hack, hack

I'll paint any plane for $99.00

[The Inspector]

Does that include $10.00 of free body work?

I always laughed when I had to go to the paint barn, those guys ALWAYS seemed stoned on paint fumes. ( I wonder why?)

and one day, they'll be walking along and hear what sounds like a hubcap hitting the ground behind them and discover that their kidneys have fallen out and shattered.

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!
