    Hurst Shifter Handle
    « on: January 02, 2012 - 01:01:36 PM »
    I didn't like the ideal that plastic handles basically look all the same so I made my own out of walnut!

    Nice job!!!!   I wish someone still made custom real wooden pistol grips.  I should have bought one of the lime green striped ones back one they were still being made.

    Yes; I have given it some thought Jim but I'm not sure if it's worth the time! Maybe later when I need to take a break from my project I'll make up a few sets!!
