Might not be a big deal, but I restored a 30+ year old Wild Willy. The only decal I have always loved, and thought is just a part of this particular car, is the "club" suit decal. I did not have high hopes, but was able to lift this 30 year old decal, and save it from turning to dust. I really didn't think I was going to be able to re-claim it to use on the new paint job. But, I did, and it worked out awesome. Save a couple other of the vintage decals, but the "Club" was the one I was hoping to save the most. The other decals are new.

Nice work!

Looks good.

I've found that stickers from original sticker sheets are actually quite durable, certainly much moreso than water-slide decals. They can usually be removed by giving the area a good blast with a hair dryer to soften up the underlying adhesive, and gently prying up an edge with an X-Acto knife, and gently peeling it up with a tweezers. Usually it still keeps most of its adhesive. Any adhesive residue left on the original surface cleans up easily with some WD-40.

This is fantastic! I always liked the clover decal on these. How does it run?
