    Arrow Whaddya' Think ?

    Due to work slowdown/ layoff...I finally came up with enough time to finish my T-case shifter handle.
    Originally got the idea from one similar I saw on e-bay.
    Still thinking about different ways to finish where the threads show @ the bottom (thanx Kenny !)

    Besides sticking out like a sore thumb.... I will give you a B- for originality, heh. Put a leather boot around it to flush it up.

    Hey, that's pretty cool!

    If I had one, I'd drill holes on each knuckle and screw a "spike" into each one.

    LOL, I was thinking the same thing. Maybe something like this:



    You should make it dually functional. Like, a T-case shifter, but when you need it you can just pop it off and start jacking ppl!

    Nice LDub! Looks like the suicide shifter I had on my bobber back when I was trying to be Jesse James.

    I like it.....and, per a previous poster, speaking of sticking out like a sore thumb, I personally would avoid the "Crown Royal" bag look for your shifter boot.

    To each his own, and no offense to anyone.

    "And speaking of shifters being "retro", in high school I had tapped out a Guinness tap handle to fit my shifter in my '83 Toyota. The things you think are cool at the time end up becoming part of your past that you are glad stayed in the past, heh."

    I had a jumping ram hood ornament as a shifter on an old Dodge I had. Agreed ... better left in the past.

    LOL bart.. always crackin me up..

    looks awesome ldub (i beleive i mentioned this in the picture too lol).. to finish the threads off would a valve stem cover hide it? the little slip on sleeve that comes with chrome valve stem caps would finish it off nicely if it would fit
