I occasionally see posts about spare keys. For all it is worth, I received my car with one key (from a Volvo blank). Tried several places to get a spare and finally ended up at a Lowes building supply store (closest locksmith did not have convenient hours or location). They did not have an exact match for my key; however, it appears their Axxess + System will copy a key using blank number 37. The only ketch is it does not cut the key far enough back to allow the key to be fully inserted into the door or ignition. I took my handy dremil tool (being safe to avoid shavings/grit in the eyes, etc...) with a grinding stone and trimmed off the extra 1/8" on the top and bottom of the key and it seems to work fine. I plan on making a couple more inexpensive spares this way and once I am confident they all work I will send my "non-original" key off to Houston for a real copy. It may cost more but some things are worth the price (this cheap key just doesn't do my brass DMC keyring justice). I'm using the key today so anyone care to pass me their phone number in case I get locked out and need a ride home? :-) Ed VIN # 10541 garbadee@xxxx 1982 BTW, enjoyed the meet at Biltmore. Thanks for the pointers and war stories.
