How do I break / defeat column lock= no key, 74 Scamp

Well I got it running...sort of....sounds good but carb is AFU and no accel pump. So prime it to start. Emergency brake works enough to "ease it around" (move it) but the main brakes are on the floor. Got it moved under the carport. "The new bodyman" is sposed to come down Sat and take a look. If we hammer down a deal, I'll trailer it up to Sandpoint in a week or three

BAD news: Just like I thought: Cut into the vinyl top. There are holes rusted through the roof all along the top near the windshield, on both C pillars big holes, and under the rear window.

I did not remove the top, for what little weather protection it provides until "the fix"
