Default Building a Ford-themed bar...

Hey guys, my cousin and I are planning to convert the downstairs room of his house into a bar (sort of a blokes retreat) and seeing as we're Ford fans we're planning on giving it a Ford theme.

I haven't got any pics yet as we're still planning what we'll do but I am looking for any suggestions/ideas .

So far we've decided to construct the bar using treated pine framing timber for the internal structure, varnished hardwood slabs for the top and corrugated iron around the exterior of the bar.

For the stools I'm thinking of using old Falcon bucket seats with a complete wheel/tyre as the base and cylindrical steel poles to hold them up. Apart from the stools, we're also looking for some couches to crash on, which we are planning to build from the back end of a Falcon ute or sedan and use Falcon bench seats as the cushions.

As far as decorations go, we've planned to put Ford posters, badges and all sorts of bits and pieces on the walls, front of the bar etc... some Bathurst posters maybe.

Anyone else got any suggestions for this bloke's retreat?

P.S. Got the beer keg cooling/dispensing system figured out before anything else! :
