    Two minute case emblem removal

    The pictures are pretty much self explanatory.

    Heat the backside of the cover until you can easily catch the edge of the emblem with a utility knife without deforming the emblem, then continue to lightly add heat until the rest of emblem easily pulls away. You don't need to heat the tar out of it, just enough to loosen the emblem.

    Start prying from the bottom of the emblem just in case you slip. Wouldn't want a slight mishap to show would we?

      That's a good looking emblem Dale. Bet you can restore it to look good as new.

        Ed, That emblem would be a good candidate for restoration, but it's not the one I'm going to use on this project.

        I have two more just like it to choose from.

            What do you mean parts hoarder? I sent one to you!

            I've kept my eyes open for a few good engine covers with emblems that could be had for cheap money. Three left side emblems and three sets of gauges, I don't hardly see that as parts hoarding!

                And that gold NOS emblem you sent me is in a package with two of Stan's turn signals, Ed's turn signal switch parts, two red reflectors, Franks decals, ect. on it's way to South Africa.

                They're very hard to come by and I suspect He'll be one happy camper when He sees it!!!
