anyone know where to find real wood pistol grip inserts? I need the grips to match my new steering wheel so it's a bit of a custom job. I've found ebony grips but I need cherry or stained mahogony. thanks

There used to be a guy on Moparts who made them in any exotic wood you wanted IIRC. I can't recall his screen name. :?

Well I was gonna refer you to a thread on For A Bodies Only, but it seems you beat me to the punch already. Unfortunately I didn't see anything that'd really help you when I read through it again :?

Maybe it's a bit of a personal bias (being a woodworker and all), but why not make 'em yourself? If you have an example to work from (as a pattern), a few hours with a good quality rasp and some sandpaper would get you where you want to be...
