Well After the Ferndale car show I limped home with a screwed up trans. It ran and it got us home. I then had to get it to a trusted shop and let them have a look. I ballooned my torque converter wrecked my pump and a few other odds and ends. Its all fixed now and Got in new cooling lines and a nice new BIG cooler. so all is well in my world again. And best of all the shifter knob that I made the silver knights head for is now in my possession and on the car I love it I carved a Old style knights battle helmet out of lost wax and had it cast in silver then sent it to a guy that encases it in acrylic resin I asked for the bottom half to be black and then black tendrils to be coming up into the clear around the knights head. He definitely did not disappoint. Ive put 3 pictures of it in the gallery and I will try to link them here (just telling everyone this in case I do it wrong) Anyway this guy is name is Bruce and his company is called koolknobs.com He dose really nice work. I love it it suites the car so well.

Glad you were able to get the tranny dialed back in.

Love the knob, better than you described it.

Glad you got your tranny fixed. I still remember that sound it made when you took off from that stop sign.

The knob looks really cool!
