    Tommy, Are you making those evil 8-Ball shift knobs? I am looking for one like the first one you posted up above. Let me know, thanks

    That's exactly what I want, but all the shops tell me they either have a scrap guy who gets it all, or they wont allow anyone to dig through their scrap, or "it just got dumped". Didn't seem to be a money thing, as I was offering to pay.
    Until then I scabbed together this old pistol grip to get me by:

    This was in a seized up 5 horse Briggs. It's second life is more fascinating, and much less brutal.

  18. So glad to see this knob showed up on a bitchen car. This was an estate sale find by us in Denver and made a truly one-of-a-kind shift knob. Another satisfied Hotrodshiftknob.com customer? Thanks for posting it up here, JoeT
    We'll see you at next year's Round Up!

    Not in a Hamb friendly vehicle, but this is the knob that is going in my current build. I picked it up from chromedRAT (Josh). It took a while to get, but well worth the wait and a great guy to boot. It is resting on my mock-up grip right now, but it will look much different when done.

  20. I picked this up a few years ago She has to be painted and clear coated. It's made from a silicone mold molded and poured in a urethane plastic. Being a modeler and mold maker for the last fifty years I can appreciate the work.

    If she was real she would probably cripple a guy. Ill place her on the shifter of the next nutty creation. That's the contraption in the back of the picture behind Little T.

  26. This is my skull shift knob that a good friend carved and cast for me. I did the paint detailing with some 1-shot. It will end up in my OT Kustom Sled when it is needed.

  28. I have a fear of spiders, so I have a liquid-filled spider shifter knob in my '31 DB three window...I found it at a yard sale in San Diego for $5.00. It's a 1940's or 1950's item, I believe.
