Posi Trunk Label
 
What is the best way (for correct appearance) to glue the posi label to the inside of the trunk lid? Car is a 68 Camaro if that makes a difference. Thanks

All of the early Camaro (and other Chev) posi labels were glued on with a few swipes of a brown adhesive. You can get the same effect using an adhesive in a tube: 3M Plastic Trim Adhesive, Weatherstrip Adhesive, etc. Virtually all originals have 3 or 4 horizontal swipes - nothing ever around the edges. The bead will be about 1/4" wide - not excessive. Slap the label on - you can't stick your tongue out, squint and line it up (picture someone doing this on the line!).

I believe that these labels were affixed by the worker while leaning in from the sides. Just my observations, and so I affixed mine that way as well - literally glued it, leaned in, and slapped it on! Over-restorers like to make them perfect, but I've never seen one that wasn't crooked.
