This is pushing my memory a few years. Was the website something like surprise garage? Sound familiar? I can't find it either.

I don't know of anybody making maple grips.

Gunslinger makes some out of some funky madagascar ebony.   http://gunslinger727.com/shiftergrips.html 
IMHO it's best to see these at a show where Jason is at and pick through them yourself.   He also has various plastic styles.

Harmsauto used to make a wood grip but it's not available anymore.  http://www.harmsauto.com/   
I'm not sure if those were made thru Domingo or not.

I remember that too, they were all hand made and really nice. Looks like they're out of business.
Here's one they made...

Ryan, Let me check my computer at home.  I have a cr@p load of websites saved and I think there used to be a site that had all sorts of custom pistol grips.

Sorry guys, but after checking things out, I do believe it was Scott Harm that had a bunch of custom grips.  I think that you could even get them in custom colors.  The other sites listed here are about the only other ones that I found are making any.


Found this thread at moparts as to why he stopped carrying them.

looks like I need to talk to some of my guitar making buddies with CNC machines. Seriousley though, would there be interest if I could get these things made and color them per customers request? I could probably get a good deal if I had about 50-75 of them made in a natural finish and then stained and cleared them the color of the cust. choice.

I would buy a  3 sets !!!!

[sick dawg]

I know a guy that sells these for about $60 or $65

[Ryan]

those look nice, but not the wood I want.


If I get these made I will use a wood similar to this, quilted maple,



or flamed maple

[sick dawg]

I like those in last post because they are very similar to my steering wheel Finnish.

[Charger1973]

I would possibly be interested as well.

We can restore your original plastic ones to match your steering wheel. We can even repair them if they're broken or cracked. Here's a set we finished for a customer last summer. He wanted the steering wheel and pistol grips to have the same color. Didn't like the factory mismatched look.

Hey everyone, just found this on Moparts:  http://board.moparts.org/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=0&Number=4221187&an=0&page=0&gonew=1#UNREAD

It looks like Harms old partner has started his own site @ http://www.playbackauto.com/

And yes, they have shifter handles in various colors.......

[LeeBoy]

Play Back Auto has these flamed maple grips.

[moparstuart]

 I found a guy who used to make these if we can get a group buy together of 5 or more he will make these grips again . They will be 125.00 each if we get  5 people >.  he will do several colors this is just the one i want         http://www.dodgecharger.com/forum/index.php/topic,42506.msg467622.html#msg467622   I started a group buy here

[chargerrt]

What about some Cocobolo or African Padauk wood grips...now those would be sexy!  Maybe even some ivory ones!

[Rolling_Thunder]

I wonder if this guy could make traditional shift knobs......      for us 68-69 4-speed guys...
