    Straight Hecho en Mexico...no two are alike...took forever to find...not round or perfect at all...threads needed a good cleaning...nice and big...all great characteristics just like my truck...

    Last cool shifter knob I had was on my robin-egg blue and white '57 Chevy's Fox, 3-speed floor shifter and it was a real pool room robin-egg blue "3-ball"..

  4. Dig the knob, friend, but might I add that your interior is just gorgeous.
    Simple, understated, pitch perfect perfection.

    I don't get the "Hey! Look at my giant crazy shift knob!" shift knobs so I'm making something that will be cool and classic forever.

    Here's the one I made for the Legion Special. Lathe-turned Cocobono wood and vintage '30s good luck coin.

    I'm making lots more!

    This one's cool, mainly because it was my dad's, in his 1939 Ford Tudor, in 1944. It sits in my toy display cabinet now.

    RIP dad. 1927-2008

    Yes, I'm thinking this is a pretty good idea. But, how hard is it to quick shift it at the track?
