    Better weld up the doors and beef up the suspension for those aerial maneuvers... I'd advise against duplicating that move where they slide across the hood and fenders though. But the dynamite arrows - that's a go!

    with the toggle switch you would have to turn it off before you can stop the car right? I'm just asking because my concern would be that the car gets turned off without the accessory switch being off and there goes the battery!

    oh and another idea, well as long as you aren't too attached to the push start thing. My hummer has a button on the keyless remote that you press that turns the car on from a distance. It's pretty cool, when it's cold it turnd on the seat hears and the heater and when it's warm it turns on the AC automatically. Now that would be something awesome to wire into the maverick.

    My set-up has the ignition on a toggle. Thats how I turn the car off.
    Fuel
    Fan
    Water
    Ignition
    Acc. lights (gauges & tach)
    and push buttom starter.

    and all my switches light up when on.

    I am sure everyone knows this, but I feel the need to state it anyways:
    DO NOT run your starter on a toggle switch!
    Momentary push button only.

    Big Time AGREE !!!!

    If wiring an electricity is all thumbs or so so understanding of it. better find someone or return to stock.

    It may work now but after some wear n tear I can see shorts, dead wires, fire etc.

    It will be if someone sits (or slides) on it. Not very stout metal, these fenders and hoods of ours...
