[skinnypin]

haha yea i had this ozzy osborne statue and i just cut it off at the hips and drilled a hole into it. then i filled it up with hot glue and stuck it on to my shifter. let it dry and there ya go. custom shift knob. sometimes in the summer its a little soft. moves a tad bit. but still a lovely shifter. love that thing.

perhaps if you appy petroleum jelly to the threads of the shifter and then fill the statue with a two part epoxy and then stick it on there and let it dry - once its dry you should be able to unthread it

it already does unthread. the hot glue dries up good. I have unthreaded it off and on before.

You mentioned it moved on hot days I thought that might fix it

[skinnypin]

yea but its not bad at all. kind of like it when its a bit soft.

I am also in the process of painting my interior red and black lol. Im using vinyl dye for the plastics and its turning out pretty well.

:dontknow: All the red paint looks a little rice imo and what is that on the top of your dash? It that a piece of wooden railing?

[skinnypin]

it sure is a wooden railing. it works for keeping things from falling off the dash.

i have not been on here for quite a while. but i have finished the whole inside of the car (at least the panels). It looks good and has lasted just fine. The only reason I have some scratch marks is because of my dog. haha he likes to get up on to the dash and the back panels to look out the window.

so i will have to say anyone that has been thinking about painting the interior and dont know if it will turn out. IT WILL! as long as you do it right. i did experiment on not sanding and then sanding. it sticks much better with sanding and i would even recomend sand, paint, sand, paint, paint. or what i just did was sand, paint, paint, paint. which turned out just fine.

Paint looks good.. but not a big fan of that wood rail. Isn't there something else you could use?

[skinnypin]

looks good enough for me personally. if you have an idea, create it. sure everyone is open to other ideas.
