It looks fantastic to me Johan , a really nice restoration on the Nash Rambler Fire Chief 👍... when l first saw it, l thought it would make a perfect surf wagon, couple of surf boards on the roof or in the back 😉.... maybe next time 👍

I like it all except for the decal. One way to do the white decal transfer on clear paper is to put a black box around the outside perimeter of your decal as a guide. When you see the decal printed out, you know that the area inside your box is the right area to cut out, and you can use that black box as a guide for your scissors of crafting knife.

[@BelgianDiecastRestorations]

Thanks! The problem here was that small flecks of toner came off when cutting the decal, resulting in some white at the edges of the red background. Clear decal paper just wasn't the option as the yellow text would be transparent and nearly invisible. In hindsight maybe I should have bought commercial decals for this one.

Excellent work! I have one of these that I am working on. The front A pillars are broken and the roof is squashed in front. I hope mine will come out as nice as yours.

[@BelgianDiecastRestorations]

Thanks! And good luck with yours!
