Screwed, Glued and Tattooed!! Who would do this?!?!

[Vicente Aceves]

I just bought this 1974 GMC pickup and I need some help with getting the glue off of it.

Someone screwed and glued carpet to the dash, glovebox, kick-panels etc. The carpet left a lot of glue after I started peeling it off.

The dash cover has some cracks and the glovebox has some black spray paint on it but I’d still rather have that than the glued carpet.

It also looks like the previous owner sprayed some black paint (undercoating maybe)?? in the engine compartment and in the process masked off the fenders and grill. It doesn’t look like he was intentionally trying to hide any big rotted areas. But he did leave the masking tape all over the top of the fenders.

It looks like it was repainted at some point so I’m not really afraid of messing up anything original when I eventually try to scrub the masking tape glue off. But the paint job is good enough for who it’s for (Me) and so I wanted to know if anyone here has a method or spray that works good on getting glue off paint...if there is such a thing.

Any help is very much appreciated!!

Thanks, Vinnie
