Should I put a Ford decal on it?

I bought this old milling machine last fall and have been going through it. Had it completely apart - new bearings in the spindle, bunch of small repairs, adjustments, etc.
Most of the work was cleaning 68 years of grime and crud off and out of it.
I figured while it was apart I'd get some paint on it. Plenty of extra Blue and off White around here so I figured why not. Prime then 2 coats, all with a brush.
I just put the table back on today.
Still things to do and then start building a phase converter so I can run it.
A little different than a tractor but still fun to tinker with.

Find a decal from the "other" Ford tractor. The one that spurred the Nebraska tractor tests. Or put a Ford script backwards "droF."

UD, you should know better then to post pics like that....

Not only am I looking a pic of a milling machine that I would give body parts to have. (it looks awesome by the way. I think it need blue series SOS decals.)

I'm also spying parts on the shelves behind it..
 
Nice old Bridgeport! Did you have it rebuilt, new lead screw an all? Try George Bradish for decals - p/n's, D84, D85, D580, D743, D839 for some examples. The white FIRD script would look best, stand out more, than a red, blue, or back one. He'll make you your own custom one as well. A great guy -I've talked to him and wife Brenda many times and met them once at a show.
