Would anybody know were to find a skull shifter head? kit or aftermarket? Thanks ...Tom

There's one in the Monogram 1/24 Street T with gold chrome. I think that's the right name. It's the small scale version of the 1/8 Golden T with a trailer. Not a lot of detail but it is a skull. The version of that kit with regular chrome is about to be re-released but I don't know if it's in that one. Pretty sure someone in the aftermarket has them but don't recall who. Maybe Replicas and Miniatures of Maryland?

Here's a couple of links to Fotki albums that have R&M's lists and pictures:

I've used the "headlights" off of a Hotwheels RigorMotor 1/64 diecast. You get two shift knobs for 99 cents or less. The RigorMotor just got re-released in 2006, so they're all over right now too. It's a ripoff of Grandpa Munster's dragster - a coffin-shaped dragster.

They're a little big - wouldn't fit in a 1/25 scale palm - but aren't cartoonishly large, especially for trad hot rods.

Another kit source is the Monogram 1/24 '30 Woodie. That has a chrome shifter & skull knob.
