Finished a few prototypes of the '67/'68 FB convert jack waterslides this morning.

I'm happy with the way these came out! I left a 1/16" of clear decal around them to emulate the factory application. The waterslide paper only takes 30 seconds or a minute to release the print from the backing. It's relatively durable stuff as far as the application goes. I was worried about tearing it since it's so large, but it wasn't an issue. Microfiber works well for applying these things and smoothing air bubbles. The decal is still wet in the pics below so you'll see some bubbles.

Gonna send a few test decals out to my helpers.









My graphics are much more crisp compared to the repro '68 GTO jack instructions. Not to mention the repro has the wrong corner radius and wrong fonts. I might have to tackle the one for '68 GTO next for my own benefit.
