Kris Morgan Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 I have a 68 Galaxie promo I am restoring. The interior pieces are all glued in place. Would like to take it apart for painting. So far, the freezing method is not working. Looks like some sort of brush on glue was used at the factory. Any ideas on what can be safely used to break the glue joints?

Snake45 Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Sometimes you have to grind out such joints with a Dremel. Or VERY carefully cut and pry them away/apart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Anderson Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 1968 Promo's were molded in ABS plastic, and parts such as the interior (and it's components) and the glass were secured with a liquid cement. You may have to do some careful cutting with a Dremel tool for disassembly.Art Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
