Great Design and execution

Minimonkey, that is a great design and what a wonderful execution. I guess it was worth the $150. A true work of art. Did you do the finished art for the engraving? I really like the bright and brushed contrast.

Here's my shift ****. My nephew is making them.:smile:
CNC machined, all stainless! Great feel. It really makes shifting easier with my Alta short shifter. It also fits the stock shift shaft.

Indeed it is. I drew up the design for it in CAD, had Doug engrave it for me. It has a nice 3D effect with the overlaps. What else would you expect from a guy who as a blog called Good Yontif?

I showed it to my Rabbi and he loved it. There is also a mezzua with the travelers prayer suck to the inside of the glovebox.

As my girlfriend puts it the way I drive it's nice to have G-d on your side.

I worked with Doug to come up with what I wanted. I saw a drawing online with the S over the Union Jack and really liked it. I don't know if someone else had already done it or if it was just a drawing. I ask doug to in enclose it in a circle so the top could be polished and the rest could be brushed. Doug is great and had the **** to me in a few days. The feel and function is even better than the looks of the **** and that's saying alot. It is worth every penny.
