I just did this job today. THe Ace Hardware in my town is one of my good customers. They just bought this last week. ITs about twelve feet long, sitting on a go kart chassis. The driver sits inside the cab part. They plan to use it for parades, etc. All hp vinyl, and used some trueshadow vinyl too. The little guy on the "sleeper" I hand drew,scanned,vectorized and cut in vinyl also. Id like to do these more often.

I did a couple little truck minis, a Dodge and a Chev.My customers kids race them at the local track. A 13hp Honda engine in those things, apparently $8500 canadian to buy one.
I can imagine what that outfit would of cost.

Thanks everyone! I really enjoyed this job. I wanted to do more, but the owner is a little conservative. Rob, I think he paid $8,000 for this used. The shriners owned it before him, and he had it repainted. The engine looks to me to be about a five horsepower go kart engine. Sort of like the ones on old mini bikes with a clutch on the motor.
