Just purchased this 81
Good original condition
Any tips on how to remove decals without harming the paint ?

those 3 decals there are the older water release decals... wonder if very hot water would soften and loosen them.. would almost have to soak them though...
Or if you buff/polish that machine they might buff right off.

Though I gotta say I like the look though... I would leave them if it were mine but that's just me... kinda cool to see them
Nice machine.

     I agree with Eric, they show some of the sales history of that machine.

Not that you asked but I would remove the 7up and leave the other two.  I had my 1990 Silverado painted a few months back.  My painter had a round drill attachment that looked just like pencil eraser material. He removed the chevrolet decal on the tailgate and it didn't even scratch the paint.  I was amazed how good it worked.

I agree.. I like them... it's an original machine, and this is just how they where used through the years... I'd leave it.

otherwise if you remove them, I can almost guarantee you'll have a different shade of red under them... and it will look worse with blotches of darker red.

Nice looking machine, I like it with the decals as well, gives it some character, where you get it? I think we are in the same neck of the woods, I'm on long island...

Was spending the weekend in the Poconos
Looking through a throw away magazine and an ad for Jukebox classics in Hawley PA
It was 5 minutes away
Turns out it is John Johnston who used to have a cool shop in Brooklyn

I think it was divine intervention so how can I turn that down
