    Don't leave it parked where some dirt bag can steal it. The shift knob I mean. It does look great.

    Marcus is a super artist; this is so sweet, and "Mercury Charlie" is an inspiration to most of us; he is a way cool dude. I love Marcus's Buick also. Thanx for sharing these great items and images!

    the people who can actually do something like this say it is easy, just cut away everything that does not look like Mercury man. their brains work different than regular people.

  17. Very true . I remember talking to Marcus about the process of carving an him saying he sees it in 3D.

    Awesome work…was the bottom of the shifter threaded itself or was a metal insert of some kind used?

    There's a metal insert supplied with the adapter
