Let's see your custom shift knobs!
Ok so I did a search and can't seem to find a thread on this , like the one for showing your car off. I am curious to see the variety of our community here. So post up your shift knob or custom shift setup for that matter. I'll start!
All aluminum lever and knob setup, not that original but I like it.

Anyone interested in wood shift knobs that are matched to the "Moto Lita style" steering wheels? I started the process with a company last year and they made a match, I just need to get with them and work on how many we should have made.

All round wood? Or does it have a logo insert?

Like Patrick's they have inserts. I am trying to get them to make them all round though (my preference). What do most people prefer? |

I think all-round would be nice. Another idea that might be cool would be all-round with the shift pattern engraved in the top (no insert).
Just a thougth..

When you have the reverse angled shifter you can't even really see the insert. I, too, agree that not having it there at all would be nice. Uhhh, but not so nice that I'm going to toss that Walnut Burl knob in the drawer to get one without it.  That was a pricey knob if I recall correctly.... |

Patrick beat me to it - on the 427 cars can't see the top anyway, so here's another vote for round...

My 2 cents would be the Cobra emblem like Patrick's.

OK, this is easy. Patrick, sell yours to Dan and get the round one that you want...

If he knew where my fingers have been, I doubt he'd want it. |

Personally, I think there are already enough "stinking badges" on the cars already.

LOL, if you noticed it's not on the Cobra, interesting perspective though.
