Hello Rob :wave:

Thanks so much for the words of encouragement buddy, great to hear you have been spreading the word also on these, i am hoping you have a ton of friends now :woohoo: just kidding, i am excited, and i will be back on to these and tieing loose ends up to get these to market as soon as possible in fact.
Thank you for supplying your wooden grips also, they were the final motivation i needed to make these NEW shifters of mine, i was looking around for years and the thought of making them myself just dawned on me after i made my first order with you for some grips. I will be making more orders for myself in the near future, as it has always been a pleasure doing business with you. :swaying:

Thanks again Rob,
HEMIKEN :bigsmile:

Kenny, I'd love one of these in my '73.  Bought one of the wooden grips a year ago or so, still in its package, and this would make a great assembly!   Can you put me on the list, too?  Thanks!  Scott in MI.

UPDATE: Hi guys, :grinyes: i talked with my guy cutting the handles. He has the CAD drawings sorted out for both styles of handles that i will be offering (E-body plus A&B-body/Valiant). He was about to cut a sample for me to look at this last week gone, but Family commitments have come up for him and i understand that he has to give priority where it is needed. I do have another meeting scheduled with him on Monday afternoon, so i should be able to have a sample to authorise by the end of that day or the next. I have everyone else lined up ready as soon as i can get one of the new batch (authorisations permitting) to go ahead with samples with the engraving and chrome process also. Getting closer now. :wave:

Thanks,
HEMIKEN :bigsmile:

UPDATE: Just got off the phone, and my profile cutter is sending me up the sample tomorrow. So i estimate i will know if he has got them correctly cut in another weeks time. I hope he has done a good job, or i will have to go to another company that are local that i know will knock them out.

I just started reading this post. Wow it looks cool. I might be interested. What's the price on one of these?

Hi dvldwg89, :wave:

Thanks for noticing my shifter buddy. Glad you are liking it :clapping: I am waiting for freight to show up to see how the samples have turned out from my profile cutter, i hope he has done them good. I am getting anxious myself in fact, so i have not got prices worked out yet, but these will be affordable and priced accordingly against competitors products. :cheers:

Thank you,
HEMIKEN :bigsmile:
