Hey Jim - it looks good.
You could still put a Ford emblem in. Cover the plate using black vinyl to match the dash trim and cut the Ford into the vinyl. The cast aluminium would show plus it would give a unique look.

Since I don't smoke, I'm going to take the guts out of the ashtray and install two power points in the section just under the handle lip. That way I can plug in my laptop, charge my nextel, and use my remote light if necessry to read plans in the early mornings and late evenings on jobsites. I have a nifty little 12v light with an adjustable magnetic base that will flood the entire hood area well enough to work in the dark very well. The power-points will be somewhat hidden by the lip/handle and should look factory for the most part if I do my part.
