Let's see your favorite shift knobs

Where can i get one of these

 

well the glass door knob is the best one its clean and simple

 

I cast these a few years ago for my 59

 

Picked this up the other day - cheap too! Best bit is, if I take the trigger part out, it's threaded already!

 

Cool stuff your making dude! I like them.

 

Great thread!

 

So I surfed some knobs ..... WOW, that's a statement

there's some great antique door knobs out there waiting to get shifty

how about out this beehive



Think how cool this would look when the plating started to wear through





A note for you glass knob guys.

I had one on my GTO back in H.S.
During a 3rd gear shift, it broke off and I just about slit my wrist.

Went back to a Hurst T-handle.

speaking of:
A rare one for a 429 Ford with shift pattern.
They are reproduced but lack quality.

Anybody remember the flocked or velvet covered Hurst T-handles??

 

A few I found on my travels .....

 

good stuff guys...this thread is smoking....

 

Thanks man, I'm really trying hard not to copy Norms style. I've some more in works right now.

 

Man, there's some kool stuff popping up here! Kerry, you've got some major talent, and those artistic skulls are gonna' be in demand! Just killer!
I really like the colored glass doorknobs too! I have a bunch of clear ones, but have never seen the colored ones! Awesome! Ms. Metal, I've been looking for some of those small flaked ends for my turn signal arm and tilt, so will go to your site and take a look! Here's a few more of my airbrushed jobs, casts are from Jimmy Flintstone. I still have several for sale. Kustom orders available after the first of the year, drop me a PM.

 

Some I customized and painted...

 

It's the good old gear jammer for me.

 

I've got a Chromed Piston for my shift knob in my 53
F-100

 

And I'm irked that I've got a push-button torqueflite!

 

if you guys want some custom made ones cherrytart20 makes them she does really good work for a reasonable price!!

 

anybody make knobs out of glass..(pyrex)????? with color???

 

I know it's possible.
Remember the glass oil tank that Chica had done for Biker Build Off ?
Just have to figure out who did it.

I agree. This one says "hot rod" to people who don't know what a hot rod is. Thanks, Mike

 

Cro Customs, as seen @ Exile's 10 year anniversary bash:

 

The 8 Ball is on the 59 right now, but I might change to the Bud Tap Handle

 

Here's a couple pics of my Grabowski skull.

 

good stuff

 

Damn, now I have knob envy!

Had to mock things up first...




Then moved on to mounting the Tiki that my wife picked up in Hawaii this past year. I don't know who carved it, but it was done by a native that sat on the ground holding it with his feet while he carved!







It's a Lono Tiki...for good luck.
