The new Seagrave Demo has made it to the table. Here's the simple steps to make your own truck.

1. The truck has the Seagrave logo on both doors and above the rear compartments. The Seagrave flame is on the rear doors, above the compartments, and on the rear roll up door.
2. Tools: Micro set helps loosen the decal from the truck, toothpick, brush to apply Micro set, tape to pick up decals fragments, and a good finger nail.
3. I brush the micro set on and over the decal for a few minutes. In the case with my finger nail I was able to remove all decals by simply scraping my finger nail, with the exception of the rear roll up need toothpick for that.
Using tape as i go along to pick up the little scraps of decal, if you don't it will just dry on wherever it lands.

In 20 minutes the truck is now ready for new decals, again you can get creative with your new departments name. This link can take you to the best generic decals to put on it.

Using Rich's Columbus sheet with some of his custom sheets for the front door finished this off.

Here's another version of the Seagrave Demo lettered one letter at a time with InQuarters decals.

Nice build Joe. And an interesting name.

Thanks, it's a real place in West Virginia, here's how it got it's name "Casper Bunner, age 20, son of Reuben Adam Bunner, arrived at the port of Philadelphia on 5/12/1740 on the ship Loyal Judith. He was born in the Rheinland Pfalz, the Palatinate, also lived in Mannheim before coming to America. Casper received a land grant of 400 acres in the Monongahela River Valley area. Part of this is now called Bunner's Ridge located in West Virginia." BTW it's just south west of "Kincaid Knob"

Joe, I'm going to send you a PM.

Great looking Truck.
