Shift knob shopping...

I'm kinda partial to the leather-wrapped version of the stock shift knob - light, fits nicely in the hand, doesn't cost a lot, doesn't get all crazy-hot in the summer or Über-cold in winter. I dunno if it has a brand name or not (maybe FRPP), but 50resto.com has 'em for about $35. Got a pic of it in the interior shot of My Garage.

dont get a t-handle like the older hurst ones... they seem fine at first, but when you try to powershift into 3rd, and the locknut comes loose, it likes to swivel, thus making your hand fly off the knob, and punch your radio. Its no fun i tell ya.
