How about applying a new decal? Anyone have good hints? I'll be taking off
the old faded Westfalia on my poptop and replacing with a shiny new one.
I've got the toolbox out, the drill all charged up and have asked my family
to be on standby this weekend!! But seriously folks, any hot tips on this?
Thanks
