This one will be revealed once the trailer is completed so there is an 8 week build time plus shipping which takes about 10 to 14 days.

What a pain to apply these decals, they are so small and when you suffer tremors it is even harder. The number "1" is a little off but close enough.ย 

This one is going to be fun and iconic when it is done.ย 

I have different items on the way for this display.ย

@john3976 Right!

Try decals like this!ย  Thankfully, I still have the "hands of a surgeon,"ย  but of course, on day, I will not.ย  Just remember to take your time, water-slide decals have a l-o-n-g working timeย  so there's really no need to hurry. You have a big window of opportunity to get everything just right.ย  Inexpensive Micro Sol and Micro set will help to allow any decal to flow nicely and lay flat over irregular surfaces. ๐Ÿ˜ย

The tremors is my biggest battle trying to apply decals.ย 

The Skoal Bandit tractor has its DOT number as well.ย
