Gear Shifter

Recommended Posts

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.

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.

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 .

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.

That's one cool gear shifter knob and that lacing going over the top looks just great.

I like the shifter knob. You may have just created a new cottage industry for yourself.

That's a nice piece of work. I like the way you matched the silver to silver at the bottom.
