Out for a drive in the 53

After chasing eletrical gremlins for almost a month, it was time to take the Bel Air for a drive. We went to the local car wash stall and I was able to clean off almost a years worth of dust and even though it still needs a compound and a good wax, it doesn't look too bad. The car ran nice and smooth and gave me little to no problems. I have got to find out why I am having trouble shifting from first to second, there's a little gear grinding going on, so that will be the next thing to check. I hope everyone had a great weekend!

 

Cheers, 

Dave

Good times! The shifting could be something as simple as needing to top up the transmission lube or an adjustment somewhere. You'll figure it out.
