One Night with a Real Doll

Despite a lifelong passion for art, Josh Leasure of Aluminum Overcast Custom Shifter Knobs is still surprised that his art became a business. Josh had a good start learning the art of metal casting and sculpture first-hand by working for his father and partner’s foundry. You'll see how it paid off.

In early 2005, a good friend suggested Josh use his bronze casting skills on aluminum items for his interior shop. Original artwork for the shop helped Josh build his sculpting skills until it was obviously time to make something for himself: A custom cast shifter knob for his Impala. Over a dozen original design skull shifter knobs later, Josh's Impala never got one! Since turning "pro" Josh has earned praise from several hot rodders he respects and is proud to say that his artwork can be found in 31 states and 6 foreign countries.
