Any safe way to remove a Nickey decal?
 

Have this Nickey decal on my tool box since 1971. Any safe way to remove it? or just cut the tool box up?

you might try a heat source of some type on a low setting, and slowly remove with a razor blade. although i have never done it on something that old before.

Best to just leave it where it is.....If I remember Tom S. from Nickey correctly.."We stuck those stickers everywhere because we knew they wouldn't peel off.." https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/blush.gif

Leave the sticker in place and list the tool box on eBay as an "original Nickey tool box (not Yenko Yanko Baldwin Motion COPO Harrel Harrell Harell Harel Herrell Herel Gib Gibb Dana hot rod rat rod)."

Just kidding. That sticker will probably crack and come apart if you try to remove it. Good luck either way!

Its pretty brittle. I will cut it with a plasma cutter and weld it in to the back panel of a Nickey Camaro... Just Kidding!http://www.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/385150ecf2.jpg

You can see the Sticker formed to the texture and crevices of the metal. That puppy is on there like white on rice. Enjoy it where it's at.

Cut it out, and grind away everything that isn't sticker. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smile.gif

Actually, I think that's a real Yenko toolbox. Just as during WW II, some masterpieces were overpainted to keep them from being pilliaged, someone "overstickered" the Yenko sticker. If you look closely, you can see the faint outline of the Yenko "Y" under the backwards "K".
