Title: made a shifter
Post by: SR71TC on July 14, 2009, 12:19:40 PM
Well, after 6 months of off and on again. This is the shifter that I came up with. I'm selling it though for $500. Solid aluminium 14.75" and handmade, hope y'all enjoy it.

$500.....time(80 hours) and material. Billet AL is not cheap, it is a work of art. Price is some what nego.  though, cash is king.

Speaking of uber-cheap.  I was watching the "living the low life" lowrider show the other day and they had gone to a swap meet and bought two things.

1.  A rear view mirror for a 40 something Chevy for $650.
2.  A original compass for a 40 something Chevy for $3,500.

They were happy to pay the price.

So 500-600 for a billet shifter is probably a bargain.  Definately will be a unique piece.

That's some excellent work my man, you are true artist!
 
However, the thing is. yes i agree that shifter is worth $500 in this cirspoogestance..

the sad reality is you'll probably have to find a buyer for it elsewhere, like vinnie, everyone else on this board is cheap as well.

All in all good luck! and keep making billet stuff!

Yeah, you'd probably have better luck selling that to the hot rod crowd.

Absolutely stunning, though :bowdown::bowdown::bowdown:
