I also have bids in on a few other glass/resin ones. Keeping them secret until I win something. Ill just say the Aussie guys will love it.

 

hmmm..

 

Somebody please buy one of these or I will.

Sexy Lady Universal Car Truck Manual Gear Stick Shift Lever Knob Shifter | eBay

 

its worth the $20 alone for the reaction it will get as a shifter

 

It's available in other dress and hair colors through other sellers. So you can get a blonde or an Asian.

 

Tomorrow by 5pm I will hopefully be the owner of a custom shift knob out of Australia. You'll all see it if I win the auction. Lol.

 

I think I'm gonna order on of those on Friday haha.

 

Do it! I'm losing my awesome Aussie one but had a blown glass one in the works.

 

Back when I worked at CSM we made an aluminum bud light bottle into a shifter for one of the semis. We wanted it to be solid so we filled it with green glue and set the adapter in, about 30mins later it got so hot it melted the carpet it was sitting on.
Ive seen machetes, welded chain, resin pieces, spikes, beer taps, even an old microphone.

 

We used a beer tap in my wife's 63 vw splitty bus!

 

I was thinking about making a new one that uses a 1/2" craftsmen ratchet as the arm and then use a cool shift ball. Wanna use tools as parts for a few ideas on the truck.

 

So to sort of offset my huge frustration with the truck today, I made a new shift knob to enjoy when it's back on the road. I'm really big into photography with vintage 60s and 70s camera gear. I took an old lens I don't have the right camera for, and jb welded a 12x1.25 nut inside the back. Didn't have to mod anything inside it. It all still moves and adjusts lol. Ill get pics installed tomorrow. It's something I've never seen, and I have like 39 lenses so one I couldn't even use doesn't hurt my feelings any lol. And no, it isn't too heavy. According to my scale, 343 grams. No need to ask why I have a digital scale

Here's an uninstalled photo. Jb weld won't be dry until tomorrow. Colored reflection is not of my living room accent lights. Red and blue like a cop light bar lol. Have some greens too. Makes a chill Xbox mood.

 

i like it.

 

Of course we have no need to ask why you have a digital scale. We already know the answer: Its to accurately measure the weight of the soapbox derby cars that you build and determine postage rates. WHY ELSE, would you possibly own one?

I like the lens idea. very nice.

 

:ROfL: exactly! I like the new shifter. Fits real well inside the truck. Has the profile of a piston shifter with a little twist. Literally lol.

 

Here's the installed pic. Used a second nut to lock it in. Don't wanna bottom out through the glass.

This lost foam casting of the skulls would make a cool shifter.
