I am custom making a shifter handle for a slap stick shifter and after seeing this post got the ambition to try to make my own pistol grip. It is by no means factory, but hey I am making the whole handle myself so it doesn't really matter. Anyways just wanted to post a pic of it and thank everyone who posted pics earlier in the thread...I used them as a guide to make my own. It is made out of Walnut by the way. I carved it with a 90 degree angle grinder with a 3 inch sanding disc...took all of about 2 hours to complete. now I need to make the metal arm to hold it to the shifter and a way to engage the push button.

Are we still in business Domingo?

I was on the list with 1 set from oak...

Waiting for a PN, right?

I'm in for a oak grip with satin finish!

Are You still taking order's?
I bought the tiger maple?, in lime green, glossy coat last time, and REALLY wish I had kept the shifter.
VERY nice stainless shifter and grips...none better.
Wouldnt mind ordering the whole thing again, the fit was excellent!!!!!

how is it going with the grips?any updates.

So has anyone started making the wood grips again? I want a set of the Pau Ferro bad!!!

So were any more of these ever made? I am still in the hunt for a pair of the Pau Ferro grips, anyone have a set they want to sell?

I'de love to have a set of those made our of Purple Heart!

Any chance...this offer still, maybe, could be, extended to the present date??

I bought mine from this guy they look great http://www.cuda-challenger.com/cc/index.php?topic=89241.0

Thanks !
Those look really nice too !!

I don't have a dog in this hunt (I don't sell the Peru wood grips any longer) so I'm coming from a neutral standpoint.

Just out of curiosity I bought a few of the grips linked above (on Cuda/Challenger) and they are ok, but they are not nearly as nice as the Peruvian examples. The difference is the shape is a stylized version of what pistol grip might be, but they are quite a bit different in shape as compared to originals (the Peru grips are VERY accurate to OEMs). Also, the finish is not as refined or polished as the Peru grips are, it looks like a decent sanding job with a quick spray of clear coat (you can feel and see imperfections in the clear coat).

are the stainless shifters available any more?
i have one of the new hurst repops and the chrome started pitting in just a few months,looks suprisingly bad.

As far as I'm aware, no. He still sells the automatic versions through Resto Ricks site but not 4 speeds AFAIK. You could make a special request of Domingo, he would have the final say on that one. I know it was quite an involved process for him to trek across Lima (HUGE city) to the opposite side of town to visit the shops where they were being made.

from what I can tell...and from what I remember after buying one of Domingos shifters, with the green grips..The clear coat is better on domingos...But if he isnt making them..then?
I would also like to get another shifter...because let mine go, when I sold the dodge demon, it was in...been cussing myself ever since! because it was perfect !!!
Domingo.....hopefully, you can maybe...bring these back for a small run???
if I remember..wasnt the price raised up to something like 600 bucks?
That..seems a little high..but they were THAT nice....i would still buy one.

I told my son he should make some.We have a ton of black walnut,oak,tiger maple etc,If he can make bows Im sure he can make something as simple as grips.He even makes custom walking sticks.He is now working on a bow with deer antlers for the strings to attach and waiting to see if his cousin can get him some rattle snake skins.Plus he is doing another one for a friend.He is also making a bed from black walnut that will be rustic.Rocky
