New shiftknob and boots

[Merzbow]

Bought a leather shift boot and e-brake boot from http://www.redlinegoods.com. Very good quality. I have an automatic so it took some thinking to figure out a way to get it working correctly. I rewired the O/D button to a toggle switch on the left side of the steering wheel. I never really used it so it is not that big of an inconvenience.The zip tie on the E-brake is only temporary until I get a handle for that as well. If I can find another shift knob like the on in the pics I might be able to use the same shift knob for an ebrake handle, not quite sure yet.Excuse the dirty car and the shotty pics (with my cell).

When the suspect entered the car, he discovered that it was equipped with an anti-theft device — the targeted vehicle’s manual transmission. The suspect did not know how to operate a stick shift. He exited the vehicle, took the victim’s keys with him and drove off with an accomplice in a waiting silver Chevrolet Cavalier with Missouri license plates. I guess this crook has some training to do for his next dirty job.

At first they just wanted the pizzas and the cash, but greed got the best of them, and they went for the delivery man’s car as well. Reuters reports that the 17 year old driver was a bit flummoxed by the manual transmission, and decided to abandon their attempt at car thievery and just focus on the pizzas. Reuters adds that when officers soon arrived on the scene, they spotted one of the suspects entering the home where the pizzas were to be delivered. Both were arrested and charged, and the pizzas were seized as valuable evidence. Quote, originally posted by Crime Scene KC »Bank robbery 101by Judy Thomas Attention, would-be bank robbers. If you don't have a getaway car waiting right outside, then at least learn how to drive a stick-shift. And another thing: Don't rob your own bank. A man dressed in black robbed the Allen Bank and Trust in Raymore Wednesday afternoon, then took the car keys from an employee and climbed inside her Toyota Camry. The only problem was that he didn't know how to operate its manual transmission. "He got in the car and tried turning the key and it wouldn't do anything," said Raymore Police Chief Kris Turnbow in an interview Thursday. "He got out and tried to go back into the bank, but they'd locked him out. That just cracks me up!" The suspect, an 18-year-old Raymore resident, took off running with $6,610, but police already had him on their radar. "Actually, he was known to us because we'd worked a previous robbery where he was a suspect," Turnbow said. Moreover, a bank employee recognized the suspect as a customer of the bank. Turnbow said police went to the suspect's residence and asked his mother to have him give them a call. He did, and was later arrested with the help of the FBI. "He even gave us a written confession," Turnbow said. The suspect, Scott Dujuan Hazel, a student at Ray-Pec High School, was charged with bank robbery in federal court Thursday afternoon.

[NascarXprt]

looks like you beat me to the punch Merz i was thinking of putting a boot on the auto and it looks pretty dam good bro!! nice job

[Merzbow]

THanks....it's was fun trying to figure out how to stabalize it in there...if it wasn't anchored somehow it would just slide all over the place when I shifted because the manual trans is not meant for that much forward and backward motion.
