[AT] Allis Chalmers Model G decals

[Rob Wilson]

I've never heard that he does. If he does I'll be ordering a
set for our WD45 we're finishing up. Gene will be happy to 
know that Bill has the paint looking every bit as good as my
"C". I picked up a pile of parts last night and they glow
like new jewels :) Somehow I think A-C would think this is
a waste of a lot of work for a tractor though. From some
of the pictures I've seen they put them together and painted
EVERYTHING. Steering wheel included. A guy in our club has
a WD that he restored a few years ago and a lot of the guys
commented that he should have masked some of the parts off. 
He said since he was the original owner he thought he would
do it like it was new. Lots of discussion as to if it is
right or not. Hard to disagree with the guy that bought it
new though.
