That shift knob is something you don't see every day!

Re: Hi I'm new to the form

Welcome to the forum, there is a lot of great help and advice here. If you haven't I would like to invite you to go to the FAQ section for our trucks and also the tech tip section for our trucks. Those can be found by going to the home page, the in the upper left hand corner, click the section you would like to visit. there are many cheap upgrades for our trucks and things like adding cheaper van tilt steering or power steering conversions or power brakes that I see your lacking, not that that is a bad thing. Lots of those trucks don't. a little about me, I have had a body shop since 1987 where I rebuild late model wrecks for a living and old muscle and trucks for fun. Jim

Looks like a pretty solid truck to start with. Build it like you want it...

Re: Hi I'm new to the form

thanks everyone and as or the shifter knob long story short I'm in the air force and i work on the ac-130w and he ac-130h, that shell is one they have used on the ac-130w so in a way it has meaning to me but jokes are jokes so don't worry i understand the one of the plane on the ground is the ac-130w and the one in the air is the H they call the the Angel wings of death. hope you like

Re: Hi I'm new to the form

The plane pics are cool! As for the shell shifter, get two of them, saw the other ends off, and use them as tail pipe tips.

Re: Hi I'm new to the form

Thats not a bad idea at all i might just do that now and i have a wooden tip for the shifter i just need to get some epoxy for it at some point, but thank you yuccales for the idea i was trying to find out what i could do and that works out well but im gonna get some 40mm shells and try them
