push button starting

Question is I would like to convert my 89 camaro to push button starting. Can anyone tell me what is involved in doing this and where I can get the parts needed to get this done? Also, how would you shut the engine off with the push button starter setup.

I don't think you can do this because of VATS. Might try a remote starting kit from Sears though.

VATS not withstanding, you just need a switch to turn on the ignition, then a push button to connect the starter wires. All of the wires are in the harness that goes to the steering column.

cut the starter wire. i think its yellow under the dash. then connect the end that doesn't go up to the column to the push button, and the other to a switched 12 volt source. or to a constant if u always want to be able to crank it without the ignition.
