It looks ugly and industrial which is what I wanted but it's surprisingly comfortable. You grip it pistol grip rather than putting your hand on the top. I reckon this grip gives very good control when going 2nd-3rd.
Still working on paint and carpet

BTW; NICE lathe work on the shifter/e-brake handle.

Sorry to Hi Jack the thread
No, it's all replica. I machined up the horn button/steering wheel boss from billet. The pedals were castings and I machined them to fit too. Everything is adjustable, brake bias, pedal height etc. I made the Gas pedal from scratch. It's adjustable for just about everything. Makes it easy to set up for heel toe etc.

I REALLY want one because the last two shifters I tried to buy ended up being discontinued AND out of stock.
