67 Charger restoration to begin-remove vinyl top adhesive from roof
I am starting my restoration on my 67 Charger. The original Owner had the dealer install a vinyl roof onto the car. When I purchased the car, the prior Owner had removed the vinyl top and did not remove the adhesive.
I have tried a few products from East wood with no luck. Has anyone used any product or tool
(adhesive wheel?) to remove 53 year old adhesive?
Or am I just going to have to sand it off?
See attached photos.

Thanks Bob, I will start with that and see how it goes. I just bought this Hemi Charger and am starting the restoration. I am dusting off all of my tools as I haven't done a restoration in years but I am ready to dive into it. I have confirmed with Galen that all the numbers are matching for this 67 Hemi 4 speed, car is 1 of 58 made in 67. Also the Gold/Gold non- console interior, with the "buddy seat" , could be one of one. Engine is rebuilt, sitting on a stand, and I plan to start with rebuilding the front end, brakes, then the body and finally the interior. I am sure I will be back on the Forum many times before it is completed. I have been assembling parts for two months and am close to having what I need, I think.
Anyway, as always thanks for your comments, support and knowledge to this website.

Thanks Bob, I am starting the project myself and have help from a freind who is more experienced than me. My Mopar experience has only been with 1969 Roadrunner. BUt I am gathering as much information as I can before I get into the project. I am sure your help will be in my future.

Yes I used a wire wheel but that was too severe, so I stopped. I am using my DA sander with 80 grit and just taking it slow. It is coming off day by day. Then I will keep taking it down with 120, 220 to get it finished for primer, sanding, etc.
Thanks for your help.
