Default Shift **** hunting

Hello

Im looking for a shift ****/handle that is T style like the hust shifters but has the running horse engraved on the top.

Is there such a thing?

If I cant get a running horse whats the next best T handle choice? The hurst one?

I have never seen the running horse on a T handle. Not to say it doesn't exist though. Check e-bay. When I wa hunting for my white ball, I seen different one's. Get a dummy grenade and drill and tap the bottom for your shifter, that would be cool. That way when you pull up to them ricers you can take it off and throw it at them[8D]

Good luck.

if you found a wooden T handle, you could proably cut out a space for a pony plate from somthing else.

Get a hurst handle, have a machine shop mill the "hurst" off and then take it to a digital engraver.

They do make the round shift **** with the mustang engraved. I haven't seen a T handle like that though.

Well

I if I can find a solid T handle I can always have it laser engraved at college it would be pretty easy then roll paint it and buff off "overspray"

Ill look and See if someone sells a solid t handle with no letters in it.....Good luck huh

This was on CL in Colorado - http://cosprings.craigslist.org/pts/687541848.html



Good Luck,

You can find a smooth T handle. I have one I kept from a Hurst shifter I had. It will be on the T-5 shifter. Never thought about getting a horse engraved on it. That would be slick.
