I've read that you use a dash of dishwashing liquid & water in a squirt bottle, and then use a non-maring squeegee to work the bubbles out.They do make an actual product for applying decals that allows plenty of movemnt before they set.
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)

Thanks the instructions say to use the tape and some soap in the water. I'll post some pictures when it's on. I hope to give it a go tomorrow, weather permitting....
I went to a "pro shop" ONCE thinking they could do it better than I can. NOT. Never again.

They look great! Did you use soap finally? Can you fly to Denver and help me with mine? Craig

I followed the kit...5-10 drops on dish soap, cap of rubbing alcohol in a spray bottle. 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.

Looks awesome, good job. I need to replace one of the stripes on the door of my 70 Challenger that got rubbed /torn. 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.

I have the panel, and yes it NEEDS it. 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 did this once for one of my buddies Chargers. 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.
