I am working on a project it's a Shelby series 1. I tried to apply a couple of the kit decals and they basically disintegrated before they even let loose of the backing paper. I figure that these decals are just old and what ever magic makes them work disappeared a long time ago. Now I am looking for some generic under hood decals. Or a reproduction of the original set.  

 

Anybody have suggestions?

Not any help about getting decals; but, spraying a light coat of Krylon Clear on the decal sheet will prevent old decals from disintegrating when you dip them in water. You'll need to cut the individual decals from the sheet and apply them in the normal manner.

That's awesome. Thanks for the tip!
