what are the repop slap stick handles like?

[brads70]

Hi!
Not sure if I should post this question here or in the tranny section? Oh well, I'm wanting to get a new t-handle for the slap stick shifter, and was wondering about the quality? Anyone have one? Any thoughts?  I have a 70 Challenger but I have both shifters the 70 and the 71-74. I know it's not "correct" but I like the 71-74 handle better! Heck my console is not correct (71-74)so at this point I might as well build what I like?
Thanks Brad

The t handle I sent you wasnt any good?  If you dont want it, I would buy it back

It works OK just a little worn. It has tape holding the 2 halves together. I just bought a new chrome plate that goes around the gear indicators. Now that I have that I was thinking about "prettying up" the rest of it? Gotta know when to quit I guess?
I might get the gear indicator and lens new too?
If I don't use it I'll mail it back to you! After you sent me the 71-74 set up I went to a flea market and some guy had just the shifter and a few rods for the 70 set up for 30 bucks so I bought it for the rods that were missing in my set up. I know it's not "right" but I like the 71-74 set up better?
What was your car originally? Auto or 4 speed?

4 speed.   I have been considering selling the 499 after I start it up and break it in next month.  I dont even know why I built it.  I think Jason buzzed me up or something.   That guy is good at doing that to me.  I enjoy his posts.  I even thought about installing it in cudaguys car when he brings it down.  He and Jason have this competition thing going on .  I was just along for the ride.

So your saying Don at the drag strip should be even more entertaining next year at Carlisle?

His car was already in the quick 200

I would just talk to Steve / Quapman & get the Auto stick / pistol grip for the shifter , they are made far better than either of the factory style knobs

Hey I hadn't thought of that!

I bought a T handle back in Carlise two years ago and since then I have used the car as a DD. The handle itself hasn't cracked or anything like they are known for but the chrome on the shifter button has worn off. I would try to find an original but otherwise its a good piece.

Thanks for the feedback!
