I found a control stick on Ebay for a good price (they are not cheap). So I decided to make it into my shifter and have the buttons functional.
1: replaced all of the buttons and gutted the stick
2: sanded and repainted
3: bought new buttons and what-nots from Radioshack
4: re-wired all of the new buttons with longer, better wire
5: installed a push button start that goes to my new RFID hands free start and alarm system
6: using the pinky button for horn (it isn't a on/off switch)
7: using the thumb button for the LED's
8: the toggle switch will do something...just don't know yet
9: the trigger is just for looks.

Impressive....love to see a video of it all working. Just my 2 cents here, but I'd suggest possibly having foglight on/off switch in it for the one you don't know about yet. Wipers would be cool too...but the intermitten shit and everything would be a nightmare, same with headlights...

I would rig the no ESP mod to the empty switch. Oh and beans for the sweet one off creation.

Thanks! The wiring won't be too much trouble. It is a lot, but I think I'll do alright. Thanks for the suggestion on the ESP. I think I'm going to do that! That's a good idea. I also changed my mind on the toggle switch. I'm going to buy an electronic cut-off valve for my exhaust and use that for the switch.

are you going to consider the ejection seat also?
LOL(I love that video)

Yeah that video is AWESOME! It gave me the idea for the cut-off valve. I already have one for my Buick but didn't even think about doing one on the Mag.

The DMH electric cutouts are very cool and like D-Lash said we have them on TWO of our cars.

Here is a short video of Tee's 05 R/T with 154,xxx miles on that car...

Hey that looks familiar! Apparently they are commonly used as plaques and trophies. I seen a real one on Ebay like that for around $500. This brass one would be kinda hard to modify. But cheap! Maybe you could cut off the base and drill a hole for the shifter.
