Your lost key is in the trunk?

Try your '65 keys, you could get lucky.  Or, go to a club meeting and try 
everyone else's keys till you get one that opens the trunk.

If you do get the code from one of the other locks, give Claypool a call. 
He has the code book, blanks, and punch machine to make new keys.

Last weekend, I lost the only key to my '64 convertible.  Retraced every
step of the 3-hour period between moving the car and discovering the key
was gone, but to no avail.  Deep sigh...

Before I start calling locksmiths, does anyone have any suggestions?
Fortunately, the car is unlocked, so I can get at the glovebox lock, the
ignition lock and the two doorlocks, all of which used the same key
(getting at the trunk lock is harder, of course).

I've got the glovebox lock sitting on the desk in front of me.  Is there
a trick to removing the lock cylinder so I can get the numeric code?
