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!

Would come in handy almost on a daily basis...if it weren't for stupid assault & battery laws...& my disdain for time @ the graybar.

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.

:P I was kidding of course, but I am thinking about the caltrops dispenser a little more seriously

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

I guess the question I should be asking, is how the heck did you make that? Do you have access to a machine shop or something?

Very cool Larry! But it doesn't look like something a child of the 1960s would have. lol
Peace.

Nuthin' fancy...A drill press, some bi-metal hole saws, a bandsaw w/ a metal cutting blade, a wire wheel on a bench grinder & a 1/4" carbide round-over bit in my router table.
All woodworking tools, but do the trick on 1/2" alum. bar stock that I found in a dumpster. Oh yeah, some 60 grit sand paper to give it some texture.
I was fortunate to grow up with a dad who always had a shop w/ a pretty good selection of tools. (on a farm, always something to be fixed)
At the time, I had no idea the education I was getting...dumb kid.
Gonna look into that valve stem sleeve idea, I might even have one layin' around somewhere.
Also, Kenny came up with the idea of an anodized fitting from stainless braid hose...still looking at possibilities.
Tom...child of the 60's ???...I'm more of an "in-betweiner" , I was only 13 by the time the 70's rolled around.
Turned 6 the day after you were born...remember it well.

Phooey on you for using such a crappy drink reference. Crown Royal? Uhg, cmon man, those boots hardly look like fishing nets.

I guess the fishing net reference went over my head...or our methods of netting fish are drastically different, yah-sure-yabetcha.Phooey on you for using such a crappy drink reference. Crown Royal? Uhg, cmon man, those boots hardly look like fishing nets.
