A Rat Rod Shifter a Day

After the rat-rod (r.r.) show this past Saturday I was talking to a friend and mentioned that I'd found myself intrigued with the creative ways that r.r. guy's (and girl's too) topped off their shifters in their rods (no pun intended. Really). Didn't matter whether they were column or stick-shifts. Some very fun stuff, questionable welding.

My friend didn't even take a breath, she said "Shifters, yeah phallic symbols." Bam, I had been psych couched in the length of time it takes a top-fuel guy to side-step the clutch. She's such a nut.

We might as well start here after that introduction. Here's pic number 64 on the flash drive, Rat Rod Shifter Number One on your television dial.....
