Clean the surface with wax and grease remover and then tack rag it right before the decal goes on.

Use masking tape to locate everything and wet down the body with a little spray so you have some play in moving it around if necessary.

As to where it goes, do a thorough Google search using the images tool. 1970 Plymouth 'Cuda #'s 440-6(block in storage)currently 493" 6 pack, Shaker, 5 speed Passon, 4.10's 1968 Plymouth Barracuda Convertible 408 Magnum EFI with 4 speed automatic overdrive, 3800 stall lock-up converter and 4.30's (closest thing to an automatic 5 speed going)

All it has to do is feel slick between your fingers in order to work right. Personally I like applying vinyl dry when I can since it eliminates the possiblity of it sliding around. 99% of bubbles come from going too fast and/or not pressing down hard enough. I would probably do the sides dry and the trunk lid with water since it's too wide to hold onto with one hand.

I had a few bubbles I poped with a smallllllll needle. I took my time lining it all up before I started pealing the tape back.

This gives me the confidence that I should be able to do it my self too. Now you just need to get the 70 tail panel or black out your taillight surround to help break up some more of all of that green. just my opinion.

That is going to be a challenge because this was an XH car so I have to drill the holes and find the right mounting tabs.

I made a template out of regular ole thin paper all taped together to get the width & pressed over all of the studs to get the location of them. Then transfered everything tracing onto some thicker template board like poster board & then taped on the car & drilled all of the holes. Worked perfectly. Last edited by 6PKRTSE; 09/29/10 01:24 PM.
