Modified ratchet shifter in stock consul pics

[66P]

I needed a ratchet shifter, one that would work with my stage right trans brake. So I installed a b@m Quick Silver shifter. Did not like the way it looked so i cut it down 1 3/4 down by base and tig welded it and slapped on a pistol grip I like the way it looks, it looks way different. It's funny to see people do a double take looking in the car Let's see some of those modified shifters in these 27+ year old cars. Ignore the rip in the seat, they're getting reupholstered right now So lets see some pics of your after-market shifters.

[kidglok]

[66P]

You asked people to share, I have an old Hurst QuarterStick. I bought the console plate from Mark. . .

hello people; stupid question 902. Why would you want a ratchet shifter on these Buicks? I guess it's a drag race thing where you start in a lower gear and slap an up shift.
Tell me to you racers out there. What gear do you start off at the line with?
IBBY

That looks pretty cool. How does you gear indicator work, or does it?
The only thing I don't like about those shifters is that you have to pull up and down on them. The B&M Pro Ratchet also fits the stock console but you would have to make some kind of bracket or another hole for the reverse lockout lever, and it always stays in the middle position.

Why would you want a ratchet shifter on these Buicks?

I hate the cheap feel of the stock shifter, and I had an extra console I could cut-up so I put my stocker on the shelf . Plus, I think it looks cooler. I'm ricer like that.

Really nice install! Is there a button on the pistol or do you have to lift the pistol grip up or down to get into reverse? I have seen that shifter with the lock out lever in the front.
