I suggested she try to make a shifter knob that looks like the OE but has the correct shift pattern on it. This is what was done. Thought it was decent for a first try. I have always wanted a 3d printer. Now I really want one. Attachments 20230509_060630.jpg (97 KB, 127 downloads) 20230509_060713.jpg (286.84 KB, 124 downloads) 1966 C-10 Step Side A Project Journal

Tell your daughter she did a great job!
