Default Re: Open 1951 trunk without a key?

I hung a universal ignition switch on the wires of the 51 convertible and got it started so they wonder could drive it away to another garage because the contractor that is replacing the inside and roof of the house can use the garage where the car was for tool and material storage.
When the house is finished and the car is brought back I will take care of the missing key proble. Should be easy now that so many have posed so much on this subject. I have read every post you Barners have posted.

Thanks Very Much

The ignition lock comes out pretty easy. On most it just takes a quarter turn to remove the bezel and the switch. A person needs the lock open to remove the cylinder from the switch.
