I can remember these decals from many years ago. I agree, not easy to work with. I transferred the dry transfer decals to a clear decal sheet and shot it with two light coats of clear to seal them. Went to soak them in water and the just fell apart, setback number 1. I also had a set from Firebirds that I decided to use. I applied them as usual and let them dry overnight. They were more of a tinted red and they didn’t adhere in many spots. I soaked the truck in water and lifted the decals right off. Setback number 2. I am now going to mask off the red area and paint. Hopefully this will work.
The frame was cut just behind the fuel tank mount and 61mm had been removed.
