Keys ??????????????
« on: March 09, 2009 - 11:04:16 AM »
So I about have my 70 super bee back together and I have a big problem, somehow i mis placed my keys, I though I left them in the steering coulom but, they are not there or in any other lock, does anyone have any ideas on getting new keys, the key blanks are easy to get, I work for a dodge dealer and we cut key off the VIN all the time, but we have no records back then, i don't know if other people have records, or if a lock smith can make the keys?

I agree with Neil.  I once bought a Ford van from a used car Dealer, without keys. This van ignition lock had a crazy number of ridges like 12 or something.  I called AAA at the lot and told them that I "LOST" my keys.  A locksmith came out and stuck a blank in the ignition, would turn it back and forth, pull it out, then cut it at the marks it made. He did this over and over while talking to me, then voila! van was started.   Kind of scary knowing that it is that easy to make ANY key to fit ANYTHING like that.
Without AAA, it would have cost me $75 for the same service.
