Guest Jim226 Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 Hey everyone i got a question that some might find crzy. i recently got a parts car that managed to have the under hood information still thier? but the downside is the hood is rusted and smashed in, is there a way that i can get this paperwork off the hood and use it on my other car ??? i wanna try and find a way without damaging it. Any help would be great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savageskaterkid Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 Cut it out and weld it onto ur hood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jim226 Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 Seems like an extreme approach, esp. since i can't weld and most of the hood is destroyed from years of sitting outside. Can anyone think of any other ways??? is it worth going through all the trouble of doing this just for the under hood info i mean i have maybe seen a handful of cars that still had this. But any help on getting it off would be great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNeedForZ Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 What is the "underhood info" you are referring to? Is it a sticker or ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pop N Wood Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 Take a digital photo and print out a new sticker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim240z Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 Heat gun on the other side and a razor blade? After 30+ years, I doubt it will want to give up its grip, but worth a try...nothing really to lose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillZ260 Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 I'd take that pic first. Get a high res camera and you should be able to duplicate it fairly cheaply. Good luck, let us know what works... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jim226 Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 Thanks for the help guys, as for the under the hood info there are 2 sets of stickers i guess thats what they are maybe paper?? but one tells you how much the car weighs and some other stuff and the bigger one tells you about the hp, gas mil. and things of that nature i will put a pic up as soon as i can. My g/f just got a nikon d70 digital camera so i will have to use this but how can i reproduce it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pop N Wood Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 Staples and Office Depot sell label sheets with adhesive backing that run through a printer. Not sure how durable that would be. Don't know if it could then be laminated or painted with a clear coat to protect it. Try talking to someone at a local Kinko's and see if they have a printing process that might work. Maybe some type of mylar or plastic sheeting used for ads placed on telephone poles? Nissan did it, so someone should be capable of reproducing it.
