yea, exactly what are you speed shifting to get to??? Just a higher gear with 67hp applied......
BTW, shift ball looks nicely finished where splinters wouldn't be an issue.

Thanks for the praise guys. Yes its a grill emblem. I probably spent about 6-8 hours on this thing just trying to get it perfect. The thing that took the most time was making the badge look right. If you look close, you'll see that I removed the raised portions on the star that separate the three portions. Anyway, too much work to make more than one.
 I guess I could just use the oem look...

You did a great job on the knob Bajaman. That could make a cool DIY project kit to sell on eBay, along with a photo instructional sheet. I wish I had a lathe, I could see a more cone shaped knob being used too.

I built a custom shift knob for my Toyota... the only stick shift i have. i love it. i always wanted a Pistol Grip Shifter for my Charger. so i made this.
  I had to remove the whole arm, i welded on a 1/2 in plate of steel shaped like the grips. the only pain about it was re installing all the rubber that insulates the transmission from the car. since the shifter comes straight out of the transmission. I really like driving the car! LOL I'm still up in the air about what i'm gonna use for a shifter then i do the manual swap into the SD. BTW the grips are Colt 45 Grips flipped upside down and backward.
