for my shifter i want to try and get a hold of Jesse James and have one of his "six-shooter" caps turned into a shifter when i get the six speed. you guys know what im talking about rite? the caps he has in the middle of the handle bars with the six bullets around the center. that would be kick a$$!!

Kinda funny about the hip joint idea.... I'd thought about the hip joint thing... but mine is Vitallium. Posted in the fabrication board about welding it and apparently it'd be difficult/expensive to find the stuff to weld it with.

The one on my jeep might be made of the same stuff...I'm not sure, my dad just had a hole with threads drilled into it and screwed it into the stock shaft...I imagine that is easier than welding it.

Heres a pic of the shifter I made (based on a factory peice)... it looks beat up, but thats just when it was still dirty after I made it... its actually smooth as glass, and painted

I got to thinking about the 8ball idea, and came up with this. What if you was to use the end of a pool stick. Just like the bottom end of it. Not one of those plain ones but like one of the Bud ones or racing ones...... Justa idea.......Anyone care to Photoshop this?
