Custom Whalen Shift Machine **** and E-Brake

Here is a couple of pictures of my Whalen Shift Machine **** and E-Brake.
All I can say is WOW!!!
Doug does amazing work. I custom ordered these from him. I faxed him my design and we went back and forth a couple of times until I was satisfied with the final design. It was fairly easy. The hard part was deciding which design to put on there. He can put just about anything design/picture you want on there.
I highly recommend Doug, he is very easy to talk to and returns email/calls back quickly.
I am very happy with my custom Whalen Shift Machine **** and E-Brake.

I am a big Doug Whalen fan. Great products. The metal ***** don't work real well in Florida (too hot--burn your hand hot). I imgine up North in the winter there would be some issues. I had a pool ball on my MCS. Have a little smaller "billard"(sp?) type ball on my 135. Love it! Thanks Doug.

The ***** do get very hot here in Florida, but I just don't care, the quality,feel and craftmanship of these ***** is unsurpassed. Will be getting an e-brake lever to scald my hands on soon.
