Hey Everyone, I am always trying to think outside the box a bit, and come up with new ideas to mod my PT in ways that havn't been seen before! This got me to thinking....if you had an unlimited budget, what one mod would you do to your PT that no one else has ever done? It doesn't matter how big, or small, just different! I am going to say, my Harley Piston Shifter knob! The inspiration behind this was taken form the old yellow rod (AKA Milner's Coupe) used in the movie American Graffiti! Milner's Coupe....American Graffiti: And that sweet Piston Shifter Knob I decided to go with a Piston from a Harley Motor as it is a much smaller size verses a regular Piston! I thought it would work really well to use as a prototype since it is way smaller in size, and should fit the PT better! And, actually we are working on making a custom mounting system to make this one a reality at the present time! Once we have a good set - up, we plan to have the ability to make custom knobs in most any shape, or size! I will keep you all posted when we get it perfected! Your turn! Candyman

Hey Everyone, Man Bruce, I have been waiting forever to see someone do a tilt front end! Never seen it done either, but it would be a really cool mod! Here is another one of my favorites, that I would love to see! Their is a company out in Phoenix AZ that builds this kit which is actually a re-production full fiberglass body from a 1939 Studebaker Pick Up that was engineered to fit on a late model Chevy S-10 chassis. As I understand it, the Chevy S-10, and the PT are very close, to almost dead on in dimensions which, in theory, should make for mating this front end with a PT, with little to no modification! This is an all fiberglass full tilt front end, and I still think if anyone ever tried this one, it would probably be one of the coolest mods I have seen in a while! Take it easy! Candyman
