The story begins many years ago - thanks to a promo, my Dad received a rather interesting sticker from PB Blaster along with a couple of cans he had bought for using around the garage/farm. The sticker had a dog chewing on a PB Blaster can, with the simple phrase "Junkyard Dog Ugly! But it really really works! My Dad and I plastered it to the side of one of his wood toolbox cabinets and proceed to use the PB Blaster while working on an old Ford tractor and Jeep CJ-7. Later that evening, my Dad shot the red/orange paint on the tractor, but for some reason, it dried with a weird purple hue to it. My grandpa came over, took a look at the tractor, and said "That's about a f@g purple tractor if I've ever seen one." Good, lasting memories of turning wrenches with my Dad and Grandpa were made that night.
Fast forward 15 or 20 years and both my Grandpa and Dad have passed away (cancer and cardiac arrest respectively), the Jeep is long gone, and the tractor was lost in a barn fire, and yet the sticker remained. However, that sticker is still in its original place, but for reasons I won't discuss, I'll probably never see it again. With that said, I made a post here on Garage Forum trying to find a replacement sticker, additionally I wrote Blaster Corporation (makers of PB Blaster) and asked if they happened to have any old ones or if they would consent to allowing me to try to reproduce one from a photograph.
A week or so passed, and I received an email from the incredible Tom Hrabak, Blaster Corporation's miracle worker:
After a few emails back and forth, a couple of days passed and I received the email below:
A few days later, I received a package in the mail:
