You guys are swelling my head:-)

PS:
Bought a nice 69 Jack, tire iron, jack base, jack hook, L&R exhaust manifolds, and a passenger side ex manifold heat shield from Dean Franco. Great Chevelle guy brought this stuff from Connecticut to Ohio NOCC for me:-) (Thanks Ed Fischer)

Bought a nice set of seat belts from Dave Siltman, in the mail, again I will be waiting at the mail box:-)

Started kind of figuring out what shifter I want in the car today.

Thought process:

Al already cut the shifter hump, and installed a Hurst Super Shifter:-)
I drove a friends W30 442 4 Speed with the original Hurst Shifter, fantastic car but long shift throws.
If I put a new hump in and the original shifter I am 100% sure I won't cut it out ever.
I need new carpet and feel I can cut for the Day 2 shifter close enough that if I repaired the floor and put the original shifter in I wouldn't need to re-replace the front carpet.
The shifter in the car costs over 300 U.S, or 390 of my dollars:-(
The Day 2 shifter has a straight up 7 inch handle, which is a little far away while sitting in the drivers seat making vroom vroom sounds:-)
The Day 2 shifter is mounted above the rear of the trans so the original handle would be way to long if used with it.
Al sent a T handle knob which I can use if the mood strikes:-)

What I want to do is find a shifter handle and boot that works and looks almost stock and keep the original goodies safe.
