So I may switch my shift ****... The scorpion kind of yellowed a little more then I thought it would and it makes me sad.... When I change out the interior I may go with like a JDM bubble ****. They look cool and would flow well with my colors... Maybe? Any other suggestions would be helpful I'm undecided yet. And I can't get another scorpion one made cause he stopped producing them...

Just make your own!!! Create a resin mold and then use a tap/die set and thread it. Make it unique, maybe couple green m&ms or a cat eyeball? Shifters are created by ones personality, it's what you want and what will make your personality stand out from the crowd.

I have to agree. Bubble shift ***** are getting kind of played out. They're also expensive for what they are. Drilling a hole and tapping it with 12mm threads is not to difficult either.

I'm going to make a shift **** that's at least 95" tall, has bunny and squirrel corpses in it, and, of course, has lights in it.

That is pretty close and looks really good. I've been playing with a couple of ideas but am still undecided... I kinda like the idea of doing the barrel but I'm afraid that will make my wheels look really skinny

Maybe try out the painted barrel using Plasti-dip. Cheap way to test your idea.

Is anyone registered for the CUSCC show at Flatirons and how many mods would be reasonable to be in the show? In other words, would wheels, tires and springs get me there?

You can show whatever level of modded car you want, at whatever show you want, my friend.

Heck I showed my completely stock car three times before I got anything done. It just makes those of use who have mods more apparent lol. It shows the differences nicely

Just curious but why would you "show" a car that is stock? Obviously I understand why you would show classic cars that are numbers matching stock, but why one of these?
