1965 Dodge Dart Charger

It's time to start think of the work to get the NOS battery in working condition.

First of all I wonder if I should keep the paper decals that is applayed on the battery? There was no decals on the assembly line battery but at the same time the battery is a time capsule for sure. I would feel strange to ruin that. I'm not sure how to proceed with this. It's even date coded August of 1964!!

Any input out there?
