Let's see your favorite shift knobs

Just bought this one for my '32.

 

Guess who? Cool Dude in a loose mood! Always great to talk to.

 

this one is on my 41 dodge

 

cool!!

 

Talked to Jimmy Flintstone (the dude that makes those cool resin shift knobs) at the Detroit Autorama about making Mexican Luchador masked wrestler shift knobs. Would anyone else be interested, or am I the only one that thinks these would be cool?

 

Here is mine thanks to my girlfriend.

 

Very cool. It that a quick change cover, you used as the shift gate?

 

Aluminum sand casting made in school.

 

I couldn't agree more. Does it come with a chain mail driving glove? Ouch!!
Still cool as hell!

 

weekend crowd

 

This was on my '31 roadster, tonneau cover had a slit in it to accommodate the shifter.

 

looks cool....rooster

 

the car isn't traditional but the shifter and knob are, made the entire shifter as a matter of fact, the knob is a regulation goofy cue ball, I made an aluminum insert with threads, then knurled the outside,drilled the cue ball,and tapped in the insert with some epoxy. didn't like the short factory shifter, so i moved it up higher and back towards myself.

here's a thread on making the entire thing, there was more to it then this, but it's a couple of pictures. the console is just sitting in there right now,i was making sure the shifter cleared everything.

here's one ending in an hour on ebay,was in my watch list http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/e...0125481995&sspagename=STRK:MEWAX:IT&viewitem=

 

any more >>?

 

I made this shift knob out of a spider gear and an old socket for my beater pickup. I wanted something that went along with the clocks that I make...

 

you read my mind, i was actually going to do the same thing with an old lathe gear, but i ran across the cue ball on ebay for under ten bucks, so the shifter was created to work with the cue ball

 

These are the ones GlassBender (Mike) blew for me. . .hard to get a good shot of them installed, but they're really gorgeous. . .and he can customize ones for you too!!

 

those are sweet

 

Here's my favorite knob picture

 

Should have seen the look on my wifes face when she realized what I had done with her "toy" Especially since we were on our way to Syracuse for the Nats, and she was petrified that the boarder guard would ask what it is lol

 

i'm sorry but i wouldn't have that for a shifter, funny as crap though.

 

Haven't got it yet, but it is the closest to match the color scheme of my F1.

 

B&M T-handle. nonpolished. It's just nice and comfortable

 

Beautiful! I want one! How long are they? Is there a threaded insert?

 

Thats cool, although I still haven't seen Animal Chin.

 

here are a few im making

 

Mike can make them to order. . .the turn signal knob is about 1 inch, the shifter is about 1.5. . .not threaded. . .he measured the width of the shifter and went a tad wider. I attached them will slow drying 2-part epoxy, to make sure it didn't heat up and crack the glass. . .

To the best of my knowledge, he can do a threaded insert, but needs to see the actual thread and measure it. . .we just ran out of time for him to do that . .

Mine are never coming off my car

 

does that one give you a hand massage while you are driving? hahahahahaha
