Dealership stickers

[Belair64]

Anyone know of a source to have dealer stickers made ? I know it will be impossible to get 50 year old stickers off.

Use a hair dryer on it's highest setting 6" or so from the decal. It'll come off. If any adhesive remains, use some Goo-Gone Adhesive Remover and let it soak in. Remove residue with a rag. Then use some rubbing alcohol to prep the surface and remove any remaining adhesive remover which is oily.

I have used this method numerous times, but using a heat gun and applying heat from the non-sticker side of the metal. Sometimes I have even been able to remove the sticker carefully enough to re-attach it with contact glue after painting.

Additionally, if you can get it off without destroying it, you can buy vinyl printer paper that is for making stickers. Scan the removed sticker, print your scan and apply.
You could also try taking a photo of the sticker before removal and print that.

Im gonna try heat from the backside tonite. I really want to try and save them since the Maple ones and a bit different.

Well the heat didnt work. Didnt even start to come up. Waiting on a response from Maplehunters Texas. I didnt know there was one in Texas and one in Indiana. I may have to tape them off and paint if I cant get the right ones or just bite the bullet and get the ones they have. The ones they show do not have the bold black PARTS AND SERVICE line available. Probably shouldnt be so picky but this is a one owner GT with the purchase receipt and the old timer passed away. I bought it from his daughter who went to Indiana to pick it up with her dad on 11/1/1973 and she came by to look at it all tore down. She patted the hood and said "im glad it came to a good home".

FYI Maplehunters Texas is going to make my exact dealer sticker ! Let the painting begin
