What Randy Hopkins car looks like today...the Herb McCandless L023 '68 Hemi Dart.

Quote - Repainted to look just like it did in the day. It should, it was painted by the guy who did the first paint job. The work was orchestrated by SS/AH racer Randy Hopkins. Herb had no idea about the project until he saw it as it looks here. It brought tears to his eyes. We don't need no stinkin' vinyl cutter! You've got to love this hand paint job. This "panel" paint scheme really would suck like disco music if it weren't for the flawless execution. It's got every dated technique in the book thrown at it, gold leaf, drop shadows, pin stripes, marble, and whatever you call that stuff on the b pillars, hood, and deck lid but it works and I love it...
