    Awesome TorqueFlite Pistol Grip
    « on: December 18, 2005 - 06:01:09 PM »


    Check this out, don't know exactly how he done it but it looks like a genuine 4-Speed handle on a Slap-Stik shifter.
    Not a HAMRS grip or anything. Very clever custom mod IMO.

    Your right it does look higher, didn't really notice it too much.
    Still, a good effort. Wonder how he got the grip to fit the slap stik mech?   :dunno:

    Here's a photo of a 4-Speed car.....

    It does look a little higher, but still.........

    Almost as good as using window cranks for the switches on power windows.

    It does look pretty cool in there, but you'd think they would have found the proper steering column for it.

     Yea, it's too bad Harms is no longer making the actual wood grips anymore because of increased costs. :banghead:
