Custom keys?
Hey everyone
 So I like to get ahead of myself at night and I just started trying to search for keys for when we get Chester up and running. I am trying to find something unique, either a vintage key, or one that has an interesting top to it. Now, I keep finding tons of really cool motorcycle keys, but nothing for cars. Anyone go the custom key route? Any sites you can send my way that could help in the search? I have tried ebay, but keep coming up short :-/ Thanks in advance

Re: Custom keys?
Back in the 50's and 60's the key makers and lock smith shops often had upgraded blanks (for lack of a better term) that you could buy and have cut for your car.
This is just for example and I wouldn't suggest buying it as it's unknown as to what it fits. http://www.ebay.com/itm/VINTAGE-GOLD...item19d26ed36a They are still floating around and you still see them on the displays where they make keys in some places. You do have to find the right blank though. |
