Leave the sticker in place and list the tool box on eBay as an "original Nickey tool box (not Yenko Yanko Baldwin Motion COPO Harrel Harrell Harell Harel Herrell Herel Gib Gibb Dana hot rod rat rod)."

Just kidding. That sticker will probably crack and come apart if you try to remove it. Good luck either way!

Its pretty brittle. I will cut it with a plasma cutter and weld it in to the back panel of a Nickey Camaro... Just Kidding!

You can see the Sticker formed to the texture and crevices of the metal. That puppy is on there like white on rice. Enjoy it where it's at.

Cut it out, and grind away everything that isn't sticker.

Actually, I think that's a real Yenko toolbox. Just as during WW II, some masterpieces were overpainted to keep them from being pilliaged, someone "overstickered" the Yenko sticker. If you look closely, you can see the faint outline of the Yenko "Y" under the backwards "K".
