make your own

[hotrice]

hey everyone i just wanted tell everyone that if they really want to make their car custom then they should make their own parts. i made my very own shift knob and i think that it's bomb diggity. i work at a plant that makes traction control blocks and electronic stability. so i was able to take a regular chunk of aluminum and transform it into a kick ass shift know that screws right onto the stock shifter. if any of you decide to try this you'll need to know the size and pitch. it is M12x 1.25 if you ask someone that threads things they will know what your talking about. anyway just wanted to put that out there have a good day.

that would be cool and all but most of us dont have the proper tools and materials to do that kind of stuff

[hotrice]

i know but my philosophy is do what you can.

[warlock_bcrich]

yeah i think it would be awesome to be able to make my own parts. yet the most i have tools for is sheetmetal fabrication and fiberlgass. I know i can make alot of stuff with that. Just I never use those tools on a car unless its my race car or when i am building a custom sound system.

Wow, that was almost awkward.
