I'm afraid to ask what he has been "touching"   :eek2:

Try not to go insane when installing the stripe.  If you screw it up I doubt you'll do what happened to mine.  

I got both side parts on, perfectly centered on the body line, slowly peeled off the backing paper, the 10 year old stripe that had sat in the garage wayyyy too long before mounting seemed to work just fine.  Then mounted the trunk lid piece, and the backing paper came off in little pieces on the first half leaving lots of specks and looked like dust bumps under the stripe, when i got to the drivers side of the trunk lid, as i peel off the backing paper, a section of paint (between stripe and trunk edge) peeled off the trunk lid and stuck to the backing paper. about 4 inches by 2 inches that i'll have to respray again.  I'll try wetsanding it first but don't expect it to work.  

Use a stripe that isn't too old, keep the paper wet, and don't leave too much excess outside the stripe, I'll trim the transfer paper alot closer the next time i do it.

Good advice.

The stripe shouldn't be a problem.

I'll have help with that one.  :Twocents:

Nope.

Stu is holding a big cardboard sign out the window that says...

SHOW YOUR T*TS ! ! !

And mumbling something about Street Machine Nationals 1984... ::)

You two aren't wearing Adidas shorts with the white socks that go almost to your knees are you?  With Journey concert jerseys?
