In talking about the interior of the car, Bagshaw said that he used a naugahyde shifter boot installed of a rubber boot, and that he had a larger red shifter ball made of a textured material something like velvet that made it less likely to slip off the shifter. We had an interior guy make up the shift boot, and since we couldn't find an NOS shifter ball that Bill had used, Bucky painted the shifter ball body color candy apple red.
