Art & Inspiration Your shift knob is ?

Amen!

 

I was thinking that this little head would work pretty good, It fits in the palm of my hand nicely.
But i guess i'll have to wait until she's done with it.

 

Now a white Hurst, with a button for the reverse lockout.

I had to replace reverse on the rebuild. Old habits die really hard, and reverse is where top gear is on most OD boxes.

 

8-ball that came from my dad's tavern in 1972 that I drilled and tapped.
He gave it to me for my then 1966 GTO.
Had it on a lot of cars over the years.

 

A glass orb I got at a rummage sale recently.

 

From the hand of Numnob...now in my hands.

1935 San Diego Worlds Fair...Shifts Just Fine...

 

I have had this Hudson knob for 42 years, it's going on my 50 Olds Coupe.

 

A buddy of mine, Lonnie Gilbertson, had a friends 55 Chevy in his shop for some work. The guy was anal about having the correct white 4 speed knob. Lonnie being the practical joker he is, sent one of his employees down the street to a bowling alley to buy the biggest used bowling ball they had. Lonnie promptly drilled and tapped it to to fit the shift handle on the 55, with the finger holes in the proper orientation. That's Lonnie for you !

 

The same one that Hurst or Ford put on it in 1968.

My 47 Ford has an amber Toad.



The interior was customized in 1968, so I would imagin the Toad has been banging gears that long, the wife thinks it's gross, bonus points.

I made these out of aluminum for my 46 Willys.

Mine looks something like this one here......

 

^^ Eliminate two of those gears and you're all set.

 

If you're running a Powerglide I guess you don't need much more than this...

 

Running a clay 5-ball from the 20's. about 1 3/4" diameter, so smaller than a regulation pool ball.

 

I couldn't do that to my trans....

 

Just some boring ol’ wood handles [emoji16]

On the threaded end of my shifter......

 

This is a vintage house door knob I bought at a antique show. I told the seller what my plans were for it. He laughed and said he had a new market for his collection now.
I've never seen another like it.

Not a skull guy myself but picked this up at Dollar Tree today for yes, a dollar, thought it looked pretty nice. Black chrome ceramic, hollow with a hole in the bottom. Fill it with bondo, smoosh a nut in there.. They had white also.

 

The coolest one I ever saw had the shift pattern in Braille !!!!!!! ?

 

My dad got this , when he and his buddies went to Texas after getting out of high school in 1936. Got there in his first “A” roadster. :
