Restoration Begins

[da_sgt]

The first step in my restoration was to try and identify its origin. Since it has been painted twice since its military service, once yellow, and the last Allis Chamers Orange<img src="emoticons/icon_smile_shrug.gif" alt="Shrug"> First place I looked was the bumper for a "HQ" number But all I could find was a Star

The next place I tried was a door, and found a 16" Star and a 6" Bridge Decal with a number "4"
