Who's got the coolest shift knob?

Wow. There is some awesome stuff here.

The guys who have the cast resin knobs, if you finished them yourself, what kind of paint did you use?
I have two from Jimmy Flintstone I'd like to finish someday (a top fuel driver with helmet and goggles and a Fink type monster) but have no clue what kind of paint to use... I'm doubting Testors Model Paint, but really, then again, I don't know.

Any help?
Thanks!

I used acrylic craft paint and then had mine cleared in the paintbooth at work with urethane.

 

I had one very similar to this in high school, it had many hundreds of little dents in the top of the head from the one hitter Ahh those where the days...what were we talking about again ?

 

Here is one of mine finished.. Stve McKinzie made it for me. I could not be happier. Its look amazing in person... Thanks Steve...

 

Not cheap.... But I had to do it.. I need to get an old Wolf Whistle horn to tie in with it,.

Same guy sculpted my last knob in my old 32. Skull with top hat.

 

Remember these?...


A little grinding and some paint plus $1 shift knob at the Model T swap and...

 

I have a mack bull dog hood emblem

I'll try to post pics soon

 

Nice!!

 

Those would be cool in a wood knob.

 

Here's one I made.

 

I like these old designs of mine.

Someone reached in my car and stole my shift knob at LARS 3 years ago. After I got over it I started a little collection.

 

WOW! Love those!

Here's a good idea. A leather wrapped knob that looks like a gimp mask.

 

I can't say they're the coolest but I like them well enough. They are from KIRK!, he's got some others in the classifieds

I've got some old bakelite knobs, as well, which I had planned on running in my cars before these came along. I've got to be careful, objects like this can get addictive... like Doc and his Norm knobs.

 

Those are some wild & Sweet looking shift handles

 

Here's my newest one I had made.

 

That is Bad-Ass!!

I like running this style shift knobs. Few I have collected over the years.

 

Here's one I'm working on.

 

Bought this one last year at the Primer Nationals, had its striped at the same time.

I recently acquired this little guy..a very old devil with incredible patina. I'd imagine he could tell a lot of stories, but he's not talkin'. Although I was around & aware in the 50's, I've never seen another. Because if the lighting, I couldn't get a good shot of it on top of my 4-speed, but it's really the cherry on top of the cake on my '33. He kinda reminds me of a cross between Vincent Price & Salvador Dali, with a tight hood & big collar. It's a solid chunk of aluminum. Has anyone ever seen one or know about it?

 

I have a friend that is on his second artificial hip. He was able to get the first back and that's what he is using.

 

I used to have a marble collection too(5 posts up)

 

I have a cool old brass door nob that will be a shift knob, as well as a few chainsaw pistons.

 

I guess your the guy that outbid me, i really wanted that one! It looks even better. its a nice score, congradulations!

 

Previously a boat suicide knob
