Gearshift Knob

Gearshift Knob
A custom gearshift you can make for your vehicle. I make these for custom cars since I am a gearhead that loves building cars. I even threw one on my little truck just for grins. They are roughly 4" high by 3" wide. I am sure you can use your imagination and use whatever for the shift knob if you want to. Hmmmm, the possibilities.

Purchase cheesey plastic 8 ball gearshift to use for parts. Approximately $9.99 at your local auto parts store. I am sure if you look at the base of others you may be able to use them-just look carefully before buying.

I know this is way after the fact, but how did you manage to break this thing? i have a different brand than you, so maybe the resin on mine is less fragile, but breaking it is damn near impossible. vise? hammer? jackhammer?

You should wire up some LEDs into his eyes that run off your cigarette lighter and run the wire inside the shifter boot and hook it up with a resistor in there ad when you start the car the eyes light up that would be really cool
