OK I installed the driver figure, steering wheel, and seat and then glued the two body halves together. I received my decals from ebay seller fiber-glass-trends and was quite pleased when I opened the package and saw the quality of the decals!!!.....................however upon setting them in water briefly, taking them out and removing them from the carrier the white in the decal faded out to almost nothing---there was a just a trace of white, but not much!!! 
.
So here I am with wet decals and no time to spray white on the body panel where the decal goes!!!........I quickly grab some white testors decal paper and trace a pattern of the mongoose logo. I then get the testors white decal wet and place it on the body and pat it dry. I keep wetting the mongoose decal to keep it from drying out and then lay that over the white decal pattern on the body
..........I had to trim it and even paint alittle white to make it look decent. I then had to cut a white square for the mongoose infront of the driver compartment. I am going to have to work on the rest of the decals. I checked with Gooche decals, plus other carriers and no one had these decals for sale/available. 
So far I have the rear tires mounted, sanded, and lettered. The motor is done and just needs to be glued in and I have glued in the front axle. should have her done soon.
