For something so easy to get it leaves me with something I am unfamiliar with regarding this certain car.. too many choices...

These are a few examples of what interests me and after a year and a half I'm still at a loss and still using the factory stocker. At first I wanted it to look factory but I never cared for it then, definitely don't now.

What I don't want is anything Mustang, Shelby, or Cobra related. I have always been a sucker for Ford Racing as well as Tremec however. I was kind of wanting to stay silver to match the interior trim, but I have always liked the white knob in other cars and it didn't match a single thing. Not sure just how it would look?

First, what I have now:

Some ideas:

Also I found a supplier that will pretty much custom make anything I want for roughly the going price as any of these I listed so really my options are endless..

HELP ME PLEASE!

Lot of cool ones here from carbon fiber, even colored carbon fiber to Ford to airbrush to hurst etc..

BIllet would look good with the dash trim and your new gear surround.

or if you did something custom, use like "marauder supercharged" or something around the perimeter rather than ford racing for instance

Some of yous are silly! :) I'll start a new thread on the rat rod ideas when I get to that project in the near future! Think out the roof shifter...! Not kidding. I'll be purchasing a '29-'31 tudor body and title only, the rest built by yours truly.

Everything else looks tacky compared to what you have now. It's great looking as is.

Fbm has the right idea. Pistol grip would be cool!

He you go Bob. Might even come in different colors if you poke about.

You know where the gears are Bobby, so the pattern is not needed.

I love Stainless so I think a stainless ball with recessed letters "JB" infilled with black paint would be way cool!
