[AT] Allis Chalmers Model G decals

[Tim Bivens]

Charlie,
Do you know where to get any of the original water
slide type decals? I don't know anyone who makes them.
All I know that are available are the vinyl and mylar.
The mylar are cheap and look like crap. I have a
tractor with them on them and they look terrible
especially after they have been on there a while and
unlike vinyl I'm not sure I can get them off without
ruining my paint. Vinyl looks good and it is the only
alternative to mylar that I know of. Every once in a
while I see some NOS water slide decals on e-bay but I
don't know how it would be trying to use them since
they are probably all at least 40 years old and may be
brittle from age.
