Another Mopar Off My Bucket List - Barracuda Fastback
I had made enough progress last night that the truck was finally starting to look like a 'Lil Red again.
WTF!! I'm not sure if everybody else runs into as many obstacles on their projects. It seems as though I have to fight every part I get to make it work.
I bought the decal kit from Graphic Express. They looked like they were well made and I was pleased with what I saw when they arrived. Now, I'm willing to accept the possibility that the adhesive had 'aged out' because I'd waited too long to install these decals. I screw up a lot. But there's no doubt that the graphic company is screwy too.
I thought I'd start with the right rear fender stripes tonight.
I looked at the instruction sheet that came with the decals and saw that I needed to use stripe #3. I tried to align it with the fender but it wasn't anywhere close to matching the shape it needed to be. It should lay close to the fender's lip. This was as close as I could get it. It's just not right.
So I went back to read the instructions again. Sure enough I was using stripe #3 as the instructions say. But then I noticed something strange. It lists #1 and #4 as being for the passenger front fender. That can't be correct. I guess I'll have to test fit all 4 of them to figure out which goes where.
