Kill Switch Ideas

Well after ripping the console out of my car for some fresh paint, I noticed a PO ghetto rigged up the park safety switch by just taping the two wire together. This gave me an idea.

If I were to wire a killswitch to the park safety wires, would there be any other way to start the car other than jumping the starter directly? Would the car still be able to be hot-wired under the dash by doing this?

Thats a really cool idea

I don't exactly have a "kill" switch, but i have a switch for the fuel pump. Won't run for much more than 10 seconds (if that) if you don't turn it on. So it'll start once, die and then it won't start again until you prime the carb bowls another time.
