Default Custom shift ****... UPDATE Page 1

I am 99% done with it. I just have to a bit more polishing adn then clear coat the crap out of it. It weighs in at 298.76 grams which puts it at just over double the weight of a stock civic chift ****. Not quite what I was aiming for, but the next one will be heavier. More like 450 grams.

Here are some pics of it so far:

Thanks. It should look WAY better after the polish and the clear. I think I am just gonna tumble it with some talcum power overnight and then clear it tomorrow.

Sweet man, once your polish it and make it all smooth it will look sick.

I had thought about doing a run of maybe 20 and selling them for about $25 a pop.

I had also thought about doing a few with the HCF redline logo for ROTM prizes.

So I wasn't happy with my last try at a shift ****. So I got busy today and got this far with the new one. Still have to cut the threads off, then drill and tap the inside. After that its just polishing it and clear coating it.
