[QUOTE=irishrose;5002982]Jan, do the decals survive the kerosene soak and come out in such nice condition? As soon as the garage warms up, I'm soaking parts of the Redeye, but can I soak it all? I didn't think so.

I can't guarantee, but cover them with vaseline while soaking, then carefull wipe the vaseline away. I sat it in kerosene where it was up to the bed (and it did get wet) and then turned it face down and soaked it a day that way, then turned it wheel end down for a day. This one was just trash, so I had nothing to loose. I'd pour kerosene inside everytime I turned it and covered it back up with a big towel to keep evaporation down. I have storage building I can soak stuff in, so it isn't attached to the house.
