Nice and good luck, IMHO, NOS 40 YO stripes can't be used. I remember trying to install a set in the late eighties back when they were only 15 YO and the backings refused to come off after being together for so long. After 40 years!!!??? I would go with a new quality repo set and save the NOS set for conversation pieces.

Used a set of NOS stripes on my T/A and they worked. Mine were from the 80s and installed on the car in 2015. Unloading the project from the trailer after getting it from the resto shop, a malfunctioning winch led to a ramp cable scraping the drivers fender, a painter friend was able to repair the paint below the fender "line", so the top part with the original stripe was saved. Lost the 340 Six Pak sticker though. A friend had an NOS one that I used to replace the one lost, and it went on fine! Then I took the car to MCACN Friday morning of set up last year, and later in the day when I went to move it to its display spot, I found the drivers stripe had a scrape on it, which wasn't there when the car left my garage that morning. I got an NOS door stripe to replace the damaged one, but we will see if this one works. I'm starting to think NOS stripes are cursed!

Are you leaving the heater box, and master cylinder in place? Only a few bolts and they are out.
