AWESOME!!! How will it install? I am looking forward to the pictures! I really want a new shifter knob, but the push on design sucks.

I would like a skull pattern as well. How did you get him to design yours? The one on his site is too "white" for me...

Hey


Im going to use JB weld on the inside to set it on the lever itself. That stuff is awesome. It was a suggestion by the guy who made it.

As for the swirl making it darker, he did that on his own! Just ask for it that way and he can pretty much do anything.

Pictures installed would be fantastic. If I like it, I will definitely get one! I want one with a RED skull.

I guess that's cool!

Oh man, I definitely need a new shift knob and that is bad ass.

Ok

Just finished the install.

Grabbed JB weld (Kwick) which you mix and it sets in 5 minutes.

Applied jb to shift lever after determining how far down knob would sit. Apply liberally.

When putting on the knob, seperate the know from the shaft (i know how that sounds... im laughing as i type this)...

Put the "shaft" on the lever (geesus), over the JB. This allows you to look at the top of the lever and see how well the JB has distributed.

Screw on the 'knob' (lol), and get the skull face aligned.

Now you have about 2 minutes to clean off the excess JB with is along the bottom of the shaft (*sigh*). It comes off easily with paper towel.

Let sit for 5 minutes, longer is better.

Here are the after pics

I don't suppose you can ever change your mind after having JB welded it on, or are there plenty of options for knobs that use that thread pattern? If so, I like your idea very much.

sweet ! I have the good old 8ball, feels so much better in the hand than the stock shift knob
