Haven't had any time to work on that Buckeye Burl yet Kenny, most likely next month!!!

Definitely interested in that myself.

I thought i would share a sneak peak at what stage i have my PROTOTYPE NEW designed Slap-Stick shifter at, and see if anyone is interested, remember the finished product will be branded along the main arm just like a Manual stick, but it will have my very own logo apon the main arm, these shifter handles will be triple chrome plated, i will have to do these mechanisms at an exchange style sale, i can buy and change NEW original Slap-Stick mechanisms, but that is expensive, i will modify your Slap-Stick mechanism to take the exact same original parts as used on the Factory Original Manual shifter handles. I am hoping to have a run of these NEW Slap-Stick style shifters available early in the new year, i will also be numbering every shifter i make like a VIN code and keeping records of them.
My shifters take all the original grips as well as the wooden grips that Rob makes too, i will be show casing more of the grip when i have made further advancements for viewing purposes.
I will also start a new thread when time permits, showcasing everything and even attach a video to show the working of the shifter and what advancements i have mad to the old style Slap-Stick mechanism :2thumbs:
Hope you guys like it as i feel very proud to be able to bring a part of me to everyone who considers buying one when they are ready for sale. :wave:
Remember this is the PROTOTYPE and the finish product will be that much nicer :swaying:

Please e-mail, the PM fills up too fast if you have inquires. crossramken@hotmail.com

Thanks, Kenny :bigsmile:

I'll bet its the top of the pistolgrip like a button. If not, that's what I'd do.

I had a friend who put a button on the top of his pistol grip for NOS and it was lit up - looked really cool.

Oh Man, that's a cool idea!  :droolingbounce:  Ken, if you don't use that idea I might try it myself.
