John, I have to install all the decals on mine and am very intimidated about it. It took a bunch of zooming in and comparing but I see your concern. A bit lower on the right side. I would be happy with that result myself. I hope I get them that close. Run it
Yes those stripes are difficult to get right...
The best way to install them is to use a soap and water solution before applying the stripe... Put two or three drops of liquid dish soap into the spray bottle and fill the rest with water... Make sure surface is clean, wet wipe and then dry wipe the surface... Then spray the surface with soap/water solution and then apply the stripe... For a stripe that large, once you get it in the proper location, start in the middle with a flat scraper (a bondo spreader works great for this), using the thin edge of the scraper to squeegee the soap water solution out from thee center out... If there are any small "bubbles" in the sticker/stripe, use a pin to poke a hole in the stripe where the bubble is and then squeegee the water out with the bondo spreader...
Plus you want the surface of the car to be warm... 50°- 90° for the adhesive to stick well... I would target the surface temp to be 70° - 90° and the part to be similar 70° - 90° temp... You don't want the sticker to be cold when you apply it or the adhesive/glue won't stick as well...

Tell you what not easy getting that right. On the dart I put on side molding like black rubber door guard stuff. Measured three times, re checked and still looks like crap. Get a body guy to help you out if you can.
We just used dish soap at the factory... Two or three drops of Joy liquid soap and then fill the rest of the spray bottle with water... That helps keep the stripe from "grippiing" until you get it in the right position...
That's what she said....

I bought my ex a new 95 Neon in Lapis Blue... That color was notorious for peeling...
When I contacted Chrysler about the paint, they would only paint it once, and only the panels that were peeling at the time... I pointed out that the whole car was painted with the same process and the other panels will start to peel eventually, but they insisted that they will only repaint the panels that were peeling at the time and you only get one "repaint" per customer/car....
So they average out to green?
OK serious question new pistons, rings and main and rod bearings, re built oil pump (guts) run break in additive in the oil at first? Or is that just for cam changes? I am so confused!
Mornin yall.
I believe the break in oil is for the break in of new cam and lifters... But not completely sure....
It won't hurt to use it for the first start and break in the cam and lifters JIC....
When it comes to oil/lube, it's best to error on too much vs not enough.... (Just ask her...
)
So you think He's been to China and caught the Coronavirus ????What a combo, yellow fever and blue balls....
Kind of where I am leaning. Getting close to getting it together.
It would make is easier to screen at the airport...
Drop your pants and look what color your balls are...

I will admit, I was a little nervous when I heard about the virus, since I just came through the Beijing China Airport, only a few weeks ago....
