F-150 shifter knob replacement

Well my knob busted off my shifter in the truck so i decided to make one with the xcarve from some scrap wood and some scrap brass shim stock. Not perfect by any means but it will do. still needs more coats of clear epoxy before i install it.

Thank you

Every now and then I will use as much software as possible to make something just to keep things fresh in my mind. So for this build here is my list of software I used.

Fusion 360
Artcam
Gimp
Picsender
Piclaser
Easel
Crazy workflow I know but I forget things easily.

Tools used

dremel

I really like the shifter knob that you made. It really adds a touch of class and truly makes a statement by itself

Thank you.

How much horsepower did this add?

Great work!

Thanks. Won’t know till I hit the strip but hoping it will shave a few from launch to 2nd as I am sure the shifter will be in a slip stream from the added aerodynamics allowing a much faster dislocation of a gear along it’s spline into a higher plane of rotation. just hope the muffler bearings will hold out. :smiley:
