More Shift Knobs, Post Em Here

You picked a high dollar Norm Grabowski skull shifter. If you want one like that, expect to shell out some coin.

I've never seen this thread, thanks for bringing it back. There are some really cool looking knobs here.

Here is mine. An old microphone a friend (that collects them) gave me and a stock VW Bus shifter. I did have a cheapie piston looking knob from Mr Gasket.

Old torque wrench. Shift hard!

Nothin' special but it works.

We made this one for my '56 Plymouth.

I think FORD49Rat should talk to Bonehead about a cool shift knob...he's posted some pics of some cool knobs he's done

He's got some really cool ones. I know they're expensive...
It's got to take a lot of time and skill to make them.
I'd love to have one like the one I posted he's made. They are
all really nice. I'm still trying to find something unique like them
to use for mine.

Hundreds of shift knobs....something for everyone

I found this link in my favorites....I have nothing at all to do with the company. I just thought some of you might be interested. I just spent over an hour browsing, and didn't see all of them. Lots of categories, styles, etc. Some are kinda pricy, and others are very reasonable.

That site is awesome! They have everything.

If you click on "catalog", there are over 75 pages of stuff......lots of variety, as Sam said.

Only in a dodge

Here's mine made out of a hood ornament on '89 Dodge Pick Up.

Thank you, yes, they are in the neighborhood of $200 each. Each one is hand made, one at a time, and totally unique. There are tons of choices when it comes to shifters, it is nice to be in the running.

They are crazy cool in person. I made the mistake of asking "How much?" with my wife standing next to me. I wasn't planning on buying one right at that moment, but now if I get one, she's gonna know how much I paid.... DOH!

Fortunately she's over worrying about how much I spend..... I think.

No contest

As far as workmanship goes, Bonehead's work is at the top of the heap. As someone who made a living doing stuff to steel for a few decades, I know what kind of talent that takes. [cl

The price is reasonable, even more than reasonable, for a piece of artwork of that size and complexity. And besides that, they're frickin' cool! [dr

I can't run a heavy knob with the shifter in my coupe until I shorten the shift handle a couple of feet. Even then, I think I'd rather just have something that fits my hand nicely and I won't go off hunting someone with a shotgun if it turns up stolen.

I hope one day to make it to Bonehead's shop and talk to him in person about a sculpture to add to my collection!

One I did from a old E brake handle.
