Bit the bullet and its biting me back. air ride suspension felt a little bouncy but thought maybe it was because its not something im new to.

crawled under the car to start chasing down all these stupid leaks im finding on my new baby and saw this.

what the hell do I do now.

Bought this car a couple of years ago (and no, it's not a documented SS) and knew it would eventually cause a logistical parking issue. Have been keeping it garaged at my old condo but since recently moving in with my fiancé, I've had it parked in my buddy's shop (next to his '67). The only place to park it at the new house is on a small little graveled spot adjacent to the street in front of the house. It's in a pretty nice, calm, low crime neighborhood.

So my dilemma is do I park it at the house this late spring/summer and keep in covered all the time when I'm not driving it or keep it at my buddy's (roughly 30 minutes away) and only grab it to drive occasionally on my way home on Friday afternoons on nice weekends? I don't want to do any unnecessary damage to it or reduce its eventual resale value in any way by keeping it parked at the house under a cover but it would be nice to have around more often to be able to jump in on the spur of the moment.

So.....what would you do?

I've recently came across this style floor shifter and never realized it had been used in a 69 Chevelle but Yenko used it on a few of the automatic he did. I've seen a few threads on it on a few different forums but nothing more recent. I was wondering if anymore had installed this style before or had any better pictures than the few I've found. I am wanted in to change from a column shift to a floor shifter but don't really want to go the b&m style.
