How I ripped off 65standard

[Cam]

Well I was so impressed by what he did with the shifter. I had to do something. So last night I started this:

This is still a rough cut and needs to be blended and polished. The second picture is just sitting on top of the stock trim plate. This will replace the stock trim plate. I'm debating on including lettering indicators, maybe just the + and - for the shifter and then ball mill some groves lengthwise. I had a hard time deciding on a handle/ball. I thinking a nitro RC car heat sink (I'll make to match) and for the shaft, instead of welding a new one on. I'll make a exterior sleeve. What do ya think?, any suggestions?.

Pics no work bud.

[UnderTaker]

no pics... :-(

[Cam]

Help, can't seem to post the pic's, don't know why, me idiot, thanks.

[wheelife]

I can see them know..
Looks great.:thumbs_u: your ideas about the slip cover is good,
What about the ball shifter.

[power = hemi]

Looks good. If you get it to work, and could start producing a few, I would buy one.

[Cam]

Thanks,
Wheelife: nothing wrong with the ball, looks good. But maybe something differrent. Besides my son was helping me last night and he liked this, we'llsee how it looks. I can change it no problem, modualr design ya know.

Power=hemi. I wish I had time to do that, but ain't gonna happen. I will provide the final measurements if a manufactures wants them.

I'm gonna try this pic thing again. This is sort of what I want for the shifter. If the pic doesn't work, I'll try later. Got to go to work.

Cam,
For the shifter shaft I sewed up an sleeve from leather at work. it cam eout pretty nice. I posted a pic here a while back, but if you want to see it, I'll post it again tonight. It should be easy to thicken the shaft by adding some foam under the leather. I had a few ideas about thickening the shaft ...Tony's new hurst shifter rocks though!

Anyone know how hard it would be to make billet door locks with led's inside to hook up to aftermarket alarm?

[power = hemi]

Hey, when I get out of work or get a chance, I could chop the photo of the shifter onto the other picture's, if you would like me to do that just P.M. me with the pictures you would like to be chopped, that way you will have a better idea of what the different shifters would look like on the car.

I don't get it? Are you just putting that milled piece in without the Hurst assembly?

Thanks, but I'm going for that edgey machined look. I saw that post. Looked great.

Thanks, that would be cool. I don't have a pic of the shaft through. May look awful stupid with that skinny shaft.

No, I'm gonna machine a new shaft cover to slide over the existing and use a different shifter knob.

[Beast]

Jeggs has Hurst shifter handles that would look great with that set up.

[power = hemi]

Here is a chop I did for Cam, of what it would look like so far:
(With his instructions about color,lighting ect.)

[Cam]

Power=hemi: looks great, how you do that???, the finish on the plate??. So last night I did the rough cutting on the knob and shaft. I'm gonna make two different set ups and see who likes what the best. The first one will be something different then this and we'll see who recognizes what it is. Thanks for your hard work.

[Hemi31]

Lol!

You could etch the indicator letters into the metal plate.

Man, I stopped dropping acid 18 years ago---------------- but I'm still tripping:banana: :banana: :banana:


Anyhow, what did you have in mind??????, and how would I seal the sorrounding area from leakage. Interested I is.

[Hurst Equipped]

looks great so far. did you see this one on a 300 hurst?

[Cam]

No I didn't, that's cool though. I like the brushed finish and haven't decided which finish I'll go with. Going to wait until I have all the parts completed. Looking at that, I should have just grabbed a 1" end mill and went for it and then detailed the corners. Instead I plotted from my datum and matched dimensions so that a stock replica was easy. I can modify from that point.

[blacklist #1]

to (power = hemi),

nice. great photochop.

[Rev.Hammer]

What would you charge to make that plate for another person?

[ZMagnum]

Take it to a place that does trophy engraving to get those letters put on. A good machine shop with the right software on a CNC machine could do it too.

I need to get access to a mill and have some of this fun.

Cam, it looks great so far, can't wait to check it out soon.

Hey Rev, got no interest in doing this for the coin. But lets say you wanted one, did you want it to match the stock unit or opened up a little like 65's or that other picture, much easier.

This plate installation comes with a disclaimer: you will be modifying the plastic gate cover for the installation, because the manufacture is to fricking lazy to machine all the recesses. This is easily preformed with a 12 pack and chain saw.

[Hemi31]

I think I'd stay away from the chainsaw.

[Rev.Hammer]

Awwww K'mon!!!! Chainsaws are the devils toothpick!!
I would say the fat gate because I HATE the teensie pencil shaft of the shifter... it looks....emasculated ...RRrrr

[Cam]

Here are some crappy camera phone pics, what do you think. I may have everything completed by late tonight. I would like to know which one of you gearheads knows what this is, first guy to guess right wins a free plate, if you want one?. Exact answers only!!.

It's got potential, but I'd have to see it in the car for sure.
