Is the "push to start" button a left over from a James Bond ejector seat? It kinda looks like it ;).


I may need to get one of those "push to start" stickers for my neighbor to put on his non-Ford bumper... :p

Vinnie, Nice car, well planned and executed, with design ideas worth emulating.

I dig the button, but I am going to change the PTS button with a smaller green lit button and aluminum housing.

Everything looks really nicely done.  Fine example of our cars.

Like I said, anybody can do a Mustang. Takes something a bit more involved and dedicated to do one of these cars. Mustangs are the easy way out.

Thank you, Sir. Still have a long list of things to do, but getting there one step at a time. I'm about to start some fab work. More on that as it happens.

Thanks Kitz !! I'm looking for another console "cap" like that one, but apparently they don't exist anymore. The search continues.......

Wow, that is a very appealing green. That would have looked good on my (or any) old light sage '85 cat with tan interior.

I like the stance of your car and appropriately sized tires and wheels too.

Thanks a lot. The biggest thing I would change, if I had access yo the parts, is putting the interior from gray/black to tan. Never see tan interior parts anymore.

Looks good Vinnie! I like the look of the Torino sport hood scoop. I wasn't sure how the scoop would look but it works good with the shape of the car.

Where did you get the Australian "Ford Performance Vehicle" emblem on the intake? It adds a unique touch.

Looking good Vinnie.  Shave and fill those door handles and it'll be perfect.

Oh noooooo, handles stay in place. I actually don't like the "smooth" look. I like something there to break up all that green.

I got the emblems from a Ford dealership in Australia over the internet. They did away with FPV and they are getting more expensive.

From what I have read they won't be manufacturing cars in Australia soon as they have for so many years so it stands to reason that FPV wouldn't continue also. I like the unique touch the decal adds.

The car looks awesome as usual.  I bet tinting the windows really made it pop.

Vin remind me again where your paint color comes from?  It seems like I remember it being a factory Ford color?  Reason I ask is that I'm working on a '73 F250 4x4 project and the original color was "Limestone Green Metallic".  Looks to be pretty close to your color...

Here's Limestone green:
