Roy .... I installed my grips yesterday.    They look fantastic.    You should be charging double the price for these.    They add so much to the interior compared to the original plastic, plus they fit and feel amazing.    You must have spent hours?

Thanks again ..... Gary

Have to agree with Gary and others. Got mine yesterday and it is a major upgrade compared to the plastic crap i had.

Thanks, man!

The quality of your grips is outstanding!!  I don't know who made mine (or how much I paid), but I had purchased rosewood pistol grips several years ago from a Swap Meet vendor at the Mopar Spring Fling in CA.  I finally just got around to replacing the heavily worn, original plastic grips a couple of weeks ago.  However, I did have to modify the top and bottom backside carvings a bit with a dremel to get a precise fit, but I'm more than happy with the end result.  Stainless flathead screws were included, but I bought some chrome oval head screws to replace them (the original chrome oval screws were not long enough).

Hi, Rob (and thank heavens for the feature of these forums that alerted me that you were back, up and carvin')!

I would like a set of GREEN but, one particular shade / look of the 3 green that appear in these 12 pages, thus far.

If okay, I will PM you and allow me to say, "Thanks!" in advance -- the ol' lady is almost as happy as I am; for ONCE in our marriage I can give her an actual cool idea for a birthday gift for me!  (Did ya ever see yourself saving marriages when ya got into this?  :angelwings:
