What you guys need to do is find the right way to get the ignition lock out of there without the keys. I'm sure your guys can find it. I found it 10yrs ago with out the GOOD OLE NET! All else I can add is why break it if you don't have to?StuckmanP.s And look what you could have found with a search. http://www.foxtbirdcougarforums.com/showthread.php?t=10206 Then you wouldn't have to change that column.
