Hello List,

I am in the early stages of doing a ground up restoration of BN7L-605 which
has been is dry storage since the mid-1970s in warm, dry central Calif .  Am
removing the front shroud, and it is stuck solidly to the sub-structure above
the instrument panel.  I know there is some adhesive between the shroud and
the sub-structure.  This shroud is in beautiful condition, and I don't want to
screw it up while removing it.  On my previous restorations, the shroud just
popped off.  Am considering pushing a putty knife from underneath the shroud
into the small gap between the sub-structure and the shroud, but do not want
to take a chance on putting "pimples" in the shroud.

Is there a better way?

John Snyder

PS:  There will probably be more questions from me on this restoration.  This
the first time I have done a car that some dumb PO has not messed something
up, and I want to do it right the first time.
