Skunkworks Challenger,


No  computer controlled (cnc) carving machine here!!! these grips are truly all one of a kind and they are all done by hand with the use of some electrical and air power tools!!! and many hours of sanding by hand from 80 grit to 100/120 to 180/220 and for the clear up to 320.


Thanks Rob

Still no work on the  Buckeye Burl Kenny just been way to busy working 6 to 7 days a week!!

Thanks for the compliments Daniel, Skunkworks Challenger

I don't think I would consider making any of them for the reason that they are way to big and the custom grips keep me busy enough!

Thanks

Rob

Purrrrrrrrrrty!   Gives me 'cause for pause' in my inherent (and personal) preference for the non-console, manual Tranny cars!

Hi Rob, Here is a plug for an awesome guy and an awesome product. Look closely and you can see he does both right hand & left hand grips.

I thought i would post up here to show off your handy work in the way you made right hand drive grips, and that they are just like the left hand grips, but opposite of course, they are all amazing and the sunlight really shows them off, but they truly are even better in real life too. :drool: I love all of them. The only ones that Rob did not do in the pictures are the Standard plastic simulated wood grip and the right hand grip that is Brown that is a fiberglass grip that a buddy of mine makes over here in Australia.
