Default New shift **** temporarily installed

This one is scheduled for a C6 Corvette with C5 shifter threads, but I had to "check out the fit". Now it's time to finish up my Wine Red version and then give it a test drive.

Yes, I thought about that, although modeling it would be a challenge, to say the least. I'd probably have to use Rhino and then export as an IGES file if I wanted to have the master machined on a CNC. Another way would be to use modeling clay and then laser scan the result. Now if only I had the time..........

Thanks, Rich,

Since this is the first one that I've machined, it took a bit longer and I still need to refine the process. Hopefully, I can whittle the time down to 20-30 minutes. I guess doing more than one at a time will get the average down.
This particular **** will be shipped out tomorrow, but I should have the Wine Red version done this weekend, which means a sun shot should be possible shortly afterward. I also have a Cobalt blue that will look stunning in the sun.

Dave
