Who's got the coolest shift knob?

Certainly not the coolest but maybe the oldest. Made it in high school shop class in 1955. Been on every rod since then.

 

38 years ago cast in the shape of my hand for the perfect fit on a Volvo 4 speed for my Model A 4banger
Sorry for the extra pics I can't find to originals

 

hmmm, i just went to industrial metal supply and they had a metal ball cap for fences. drilled a hole, welded in a insert and there you go....just like the white hurst ones but metal.

 

here mine!
made by Bob Hirohata..for the Jack Stewart ford!
merry Christmas for everyone

I've seen a couple of them before and I kinda suspect its not a shift knob but a handle to a novelty cane but still very cool!

I've been collecting for a couple years now...I'm mostly into the early figural bakelite ones. Johnny

 

This won is fantastic gets my vote

 

I see some of the guys on here do acrylic... anyone mind pm'ing me about their setup for such an operation, I'm pretty interested in how it's done.

 

I run a real Vietnam pineapple grenade(dead fuse and no charge, totally safe) on my 64, scares the crap outta people. I wonder how many pissed off bartenders are out there, missing their tappers. It would be funny if all their taps were stock shift knobs, what a twist!

 

Won't be the coolest, it is a handle of a 1930's wood chisel, made of clear and yellow and red tinted lucite. Feels real good in the hand!! Has a little cowboy necktie slide with a red jewel on it for a finish collar. May have to click on the tiny pic to see. ~sololobo~

 

Lots of cool knobs, but my favorite has always been the Piston Knob in Milner's coupe.

 

Here's what I'll be using on my '58.

 

Mine in my 32 is a little unusual

 

Mine...


That's right...It's CASH BABY!!!

 

I'll have to get a photo...it is a resin ball with an old west brothal token inset into it...brings a new meaning to four on the floor

 

Just finished this one up. Kind of a skull with 8 ball theme. All hand carved.

 

damn I gotta learn how to post pics I gotta 37mm bullit date coded 1943 on the band in my touring car I think its pretty cool

 

The latest Trosmans' 8 Ball. Went to a Hamber.

 

I have one of Josh's in my 74 F100 (not a Hamb'er truck I know) with an extension to make the shifter taller. I'll post picks when I get home next time, sometime after Jan. 6th.

 

We just added another batch of exclusive Lucha Libre knobs to our website, courtesy of Carlos. Click our link below for details.

 

Very cool thread, makes me want a few of these.

 

Yet another 8 Ball. Hand Carved African Blackwood with Maple disc and aluminum insert and teeth.

 

Boy, the Tros did a great job on that one huh? Better than my 8 ball.
Got him doing me another one. Something different though.

Got many! All Pewter, check em out!

 

about to get mine done thanks to green slimeeee and a good friend Jim

 

Mines a Henry Weinhard's Dark beer tap. Now I just need to get something to put it on.

 

Mine is the 2nd post on this thread, and Deathtrap Kustoms is where I got it. It is the best. I get all kinds of positive comments on it. But SHIT now my secret is out.

 

A Hamber wanted a "Bomb" shift knob. Dmitry just finished.

 

Now that's way cool!

 

Not the coolest, but cool nonetheless. My Sparkomatic lucite barrel knob.

 

You don't think you over did it do you - LOL
