    Hey Jeff, How about having Grabowski carve you a shift knob that your grandad's false teeth will slip into. Normie is sure to come up with something appropriate (and scary:cool:). When you stop for dinner/lunch just slid them out of the ****knob and take them with you. When no one is looking drop them into your gl*** of water and see if anyone notices. could be a real conversation starter.:)

  2. Any pics of your old grandad?
     
  3. Pure awesomeness!!!
    If that's not a word, it should be!

    Opposite way around .. Me and my Grandpa use to cast The acrylic balls with the Tap Plastics stuff.. May be fun to do again with the kid...
    Have to dig thru all the old stuff I have and see if any still exist and use in one of the rides...

    Great cuff and great idea...

    Dale , you still have that ! I remember looking at it in the garage here in Tacoma. That would be killer in a shift knob. Jeff, I would like to have a knob made at some time. Very cool. Cameron ! the skull knob I won on the HAMB auction is really awesome !... Cheers !

    Jeff, Now that is one whale of an idea. Neat tribute for your Grandpa Jack ! I have a watch chain that is supposedly one month's pay in the Army (won on a bet between Grandpa Ransom Henry and one of his Army buds). Now I just find a way to make a tribute out of it.

    Yes I could not resist doing this. I sent it off today. I went with an all black knob with the coin imbedded in it. It should look killer when done.

    We knew we were onto something when Jeff told us the back story on Bad Jack's cufflinks. We're so stoked to know Jack's going to be riding along with you, Jeff. If any of you fellow HAMBers have something you'd like to embed, send me a PM or call Debbie at 512 773-2674
    Hotrodshiftknob.com is the custom shift knob division of HouseOSpeed. Tons of colors, textures and options exist. We love doing one-off stuff. In Jeff's case, the inspiration was right under his nose. You rock, Jeff. Thanks for the props.

    I was very happy with the service and info on the phone today with Debbie. Looking forward to my shift knob. It will be a nice touch in the Curbspeed Coupe. Thanks again. If only I was a Alliance member I would have got a discount. Maybe I should do that soon.

    Debbie and the gang at House O' Speed pulled through and did an awesome job on my knob(Did I just write that?) Came out perfect for the Curbspeed Coupe.Yes I have been working on it. No update photos yet but I am thrilled with the service and quality of this product. Very Cool! Worth every penny in my opinion. Thanks gang. My dad gave me this coin years ago. Swapmeet find. I was happy to get it in the mail today so I could show him it at LARS this weekend. Thanks, Dale
