Ambassador Beaverslayer Posted January 20, 2008 Ambassador Report Posted January 20, 2008 A friend was tearing apart a Chrysler Intrepid last night and asked me if I wanted any of the parts. I looked and saw all the good stereo parts and alarm were gone, so I just took the shifter knob. Stared at it for a while and thought I'd try this out. Had a few problems, but with a bit of tweeking I think I may have a new line to market. Ken Quote Beaverslayer Custom Leather<br />Wearable Works of Art https://www.facebook...erCustomLeather

Ambassador Beaverslayer Posted January 21, 2008 Author Ambassador Report Posted January 21, 2008 Yes I sent him a PM. He's actually looking for the boot that is wrapped around the shift lever itself. I'm working on one of those as I type this out. Will post a pic tomorrow most likely. Thanks for the compliment.

Ambassador freak Posted January 21, 2008 Ambassador Report Posted January 21, 2008 Beaver, I would imagine he's looking for someone to make stuff like this guy makes redline goods . You can look around and get some idea . Quote It takes more then one freak to have a true freakshow. So take a seat , the show is about to start. Check out the freakSHOW
Ambassador Beaverslayer Posted January 21, 2008 Author Ambassador Report Posted January 21, 2008 Yea freak, I looked at that site last night, the only thing is the most expensive one I could work out on there was for an Alpha Romeo, and it was only 58 bucks shipping included. I would think that he was wanting something a bit more "Custom" than just sewn leather. I'll post mine tomorrow most likely. It's got a carved panel that's lacedinto the boot, and of course it's all laced together. Ken Quote Beaverslayer Custom Leather<br />Wearable Works of Art https://www.facebook...erCustomLeather
TomSwede Posted January 21, 2008 Report Posted January 21, 2008 That's one cool gear shifter knob and that lacing going over the top looks just great. Tom Quote Confucius - Better a diamond with a flaw than a pebble without. --------------------------------------------- www.1eye1.se blogg.1eye1.se
Randyc Posted January 21, 2008 Report Posted January 21, 2008 I like the shifter knob. You may have just created a new cottage industry for yourself. Randy Quote Randy Cooley Bulldog Custom Gun Leather www.bulldogleathercompany.com

I like the way you matched the silver to silver at the bottom. Quote Cecil Wakelin http://home.bellsouth.net/p/s/community.dl...d=359493&ck=
