i do plan on doing this, except i am making a completely different ****. i am going to the local carpentry store or even a home depot to pick up some better quality wood. and im going to make a template of a shifter i like and copy it. thanks for your interest through this diy Originally Posted by Jewcano
The door trim and shifter color are almost identical. However I do agree that the shifter boot is too close to the actual ****. Lower it a bit and it should look alot better.

yes there will be a 2nd AND a 3rd shift ****. i am buying some oak today so that i can get some better quality stuff for me and hopefully some of you guys.Originally Posted by djyoshi626
i think this is very well done, but you already got most of it down, the 2nd and 3rd one, if you make them will be much better made! Good job!

harsh man. lol no sweat, thanks for the input, it is my first attempt at wood shaping and i can probably do better. the staining isnt too much my fault, but the poor absorbent quality of the pine. it sucks everything through the top and bottom. im trying oak this time.Originally Posted by jpvarghese
Well for one I want to applaud your effort. I would however done a better job shaping that ****. It looks uneven in places. The wood choice is poor as well as the staining.

the shift boot seems to be a bit of a problem. im going to attach a metal top piece to it so it separates itself from the shifter. i just covered it because it was scratched on the inside (the black paint was chipped/scratched.)Originally Posted by LiCelsior
i think the shift boot is too close to the shifter ****. would be sick if the **** u made resembled a 98+ shifter.
do you have a pic of the 98 shifter? if you guys like it i may consider making a few, maybe for me as well
IM going for the dip clear coat instead next time because this clear coat kinda bubbled up on me, it is toast. so if you guys are interested in the next one i do, keep an eye out for it

I'm doing something similar with a nine ball that a friend found. Don't know if i'll like the end product but it was the best use I could think of for a single pool ball.
