Awesome, thanks Ken, sounds very promising. I wonder if it would be better to ship a B-Body Pistol Grip to him to get the best fit and shape then he ships it to me or are they basically just set off a fixed template?

If you have the Hurst Shifter handle, you can send it to me buddy.  I do Street Machine and hotrod build ups.  Custom steel fabrication is my speciality.  Just need to know exactly where you want the bends.  What car is this for ? :clueless:

Just a car lol anyhow, I don't have the handle yet but can get it shipped to you. At this stage I'm going to wait for the car to actually get here as it's got a short shift kit on it and apparently t handles etc vibrate quite a bit where as the ball shifter on it now is quiet, so I'll see how I go but will keep this topic and you in mind for fabrication.


Cheers bud!!  :cheers:

 :clapping: I left the pictures large so you can see they have a textured pattern already in them.  He uses a brown gel coat, but these can be painted any color you want or you can even have colored wood grain pattern painted or simulated wood grain at your own leasure.

Here is the comparison between a Gunslinger handle and the right hand drive handle.

Those are pretty good mate!! Is he able to replicate the wood used in real pistol grip handles from the E and B-Body cars (at a cost)? I'd be interested in two, one in black, the other in simulated wood grain. I guess I can use reproduction top plates for the shift pattern? This is for a 6-speed.  ;D

Thanks for the photos mate. This guy should advertise, he get a bit of work. :cheers:

Carl,   Gunslinger sells the top plate with any number of speeds and patters that you may need.
