Good luck to you BEAST.
REGARDING the broken key.If I remember right it was aluminum...it just broke the tip off. The electric fuel pump quit in the staging lanes and I crawled under the dash and found the fuse blown..one of the old glass fuses. I just reached up over my head and pulled the key from ignition to pop the fuse out....I was only 19 or 20 yrs old and I had Driven the car to the track, which was a half hour drive. Had to call my dad to come get me and he didn't know where the track was exactly.
ops: I had like 4 keys made the next day.
