That custom shifter sounds great.
It was fun to make for sure. Sowing is not easy but god damn it looks good lol.
For me I recycle a lot of stuff. Even wrong parts that I bought. I bought these "universal" spark plug wire organizers with adjustable tracks that have brackets that fit HEMI valve covers and other mounting gear that fits every small block under the sun and well.....not if you have edelbrock 4262 covers. So instead of spending more money and buying another product and having to sell the wrong ones, I ended up modifying them to fit by bending the HEMI brackets a certain way and installing them backwards so they clear the manifolds.
They ended up sitting flush with the top of the valve covers, so I angled them to have the same slope as the valve covers themselves. It looks real clean IMO. I know for a fact I'll never come across another car with the same setup to organize wires. Born out of a mistake.
Had this old water pump I bought used and leaked all over the place, so instead of throwing it out I just bolted a circular steel plate to the fan pulley and hot-glued a mirror on top. Now it's a kick ass rotating Hot Wheels display. Actually I still have to find a small motor for it and find a way to cram it in the casing along with some batteries.
I picked up so much junk I didn't need in junkyards just to dick around with it in the shop. I don't always go there for my car, sometimes I just have an idea and need to see a bunch of rando parts to get the gears going up there.
Cars are a lot of work but man is it rewarding. I'll try to snap a couple pictures of the shifter tonight.
