Default What I did at work.

I've been looking around and reading on this forum for a while, but never had anything to post. Yesterday at work I made a shifter **** for my car and thought I would show you all. I also made the superman logo.

You know, if I had a machine like that at work, I could have a pretty profitable side job on my hands.
Looks good!

Yeah, it's still the factory shifter. I haven't put any money into the car yet. I have a 1990 Chevy truck that's taking most of my money now. The truck doesn't look that great, but it's a 383 stroker 471hp at the flywheel.

A guy I work with has a camaro with the LS1 and for some reason he wanted to race. I did and the excuses came with it. No one like losing, but come on I hate racing someone that can't take it.

I've been thinking about selling it just so I can do stuff to my mustang. It's not worth near what I have in it. That's why I can't make myself sell it. My wife hates it says it's to loud.

when you made that shifter ****, did you get a blank aluminum **** and cnc it? or did you fab the whole thing. whats the cost invested into making it?, I might want to part with some money for one if the price is right.

Made the whole thing. My buddy runs the CNC Lathe and I run the CNC mills. As for a price I don't even know what would be a fair price. What do you want the shifter to have on it?

that first logo was sweet, or even ford racing would be cool. if it possible do a ford racing logo and post a pic of it. btw i dont mean make a ****, just a logo, like the first one you made. It would be either one just like the first one you made or with it saying ford racing. its simple but looks really good, plus it will go with my silver interior trim. as far as price goes im willing to pay a reasonable amount for it, it would'nt low ball you and say $5. just pm me to discuss that part. one more thing, no rush.
