Open top help

[Graveyard Jack]

The nickeled Open Tops look good! I'd have to have them fitted with one-piece TruIvory.

I cant decide what color to get.

They are Natural White, Slightly Aged, Antique Yellow and Ultra Antique

Everyone feel free to chime it.

It's all just personal preference.  My opinion is that the more antique-colored grips would look a bit out of place on shiny new nickled guns.  I picked Slightly Aged for my conversions because the "grain" shows up a little more than the Natural White (hard to see in pics, though):

Keep in mind that Bar-S has been known to be pretty slow if you send in your gripframe for fitting.  I think you can get oversized panels from them if you want to do your own fitting.

I would say natural white or slightly aged, leaning towards the latter. I've got natural white on my blued Open Top and think they 'may' be a tad too light for nickel.

every time I see that pair, I drool like Ivan Pavlov's Dogs...

I have a Richard Type I nickeled with Slightly Aged (yellowed) I felt white was a bit to over the top white.

That's it @ 3 OClock

I also will recommend Fords.

This is what the natural white looks like. After looking at my Rodeo II again, I do think that the slightly aged would look better on nickel.

Decisions, decisions!

At least it's a tough decision to screw up!

Slow I cant even get them to answer their phone. That doesn't give you a warm cozy feeling
Left a message 3 weeks ago  and they ago still havent returned my call.

I dont see grips being offered on Fords web site. Do you have to call?

Call BarS again, they're a small shop and sometimes small shops are hard to get a hold of.

Ford's doesn't do grips, they're a refinisher.
