The wheel was a three plus hour job in it's self. Everything works, air bag cruz, horn ect.
Thank you for noticing

That's gorgeous! Like a Ferrari. I would love to have mine like that. Would you be interested in making one for me, I will pay you. The steering wheel looks nice as well. Really liking that shifter though.

I actually thought about this concept, and glad that someone finally tried it out. I always loved the Ferrari style gated shifters. The only problem with yours is that there are no gates. It's just a rectangular hole with room for the reverse gear. I think if there was a way to make it gated, then it would look cool. However, I don't think that's possible with the transmissions short throws and movement from side to side.

It's definitely different and nice, but I don't think it's something I'd buy. on making a nice setup though. It looks like it took alot of time.

Yes it is taller for a reason the shifter is easy to find no fumbling around. I wanted to have something that was Precise smooth and worked with finess not a jam the gear and go. The throw is very short and effortless there was no room for individual gates just one open gate which is a little larger than it has to be so it would look good.
