    yes , I got your PM and am doing an update to answer all questions. Those old console decales are hard to remove without heat. You can use a hair blow drier I guess, but I use a heat gun which looks like a hair dryer but gets hotter. On the Console Pot metal chrome top move it back and fourth in a area 3 or 4 inches to warm it up . Then start pealing up that area till it starts to get hard again. Then repeat the process at that area untill you have finished the hole part. Then remove any excess glue with paint thinner or reducer,or maybe goofoff,ect. If you do the lid plastic chrome, and it is in great shape, be very careful or the chrome may peel off with the decale {If nice,dont clean with thinner or reducer may etch the plastic chrome finish }. The Parts Place is now selling the Plastic lid chrome for $49.00 and you cant beat it .I am glad I did not spend the money on the old one for a rechrome. Pics below show a Heat Gun, old lid the chrome came off, new lid installed. I will be posting on the console thread on how I installed the hew decales, ASAP.
