Spent most of Saturday going through my DCNF 42's to troubleshoot a rich #3 cylinder, resync the carbs and adjust the valves. Didn't find anything wrong but put it back together and it's running great again. Must have been some blockage somewhere. Thanks Shubee for the help.

You would never know it was mid-January from todays weather! The wife and I took a nearly 100 mile round trip down to the coast and the wife took some pics to capture the absolutely beautiful day we had cruising from Newport up to Bolsa Chica.

For those of you with a little cooler weather, hope this warms you up a little!

Oh, YES! I love the way that looks, Sarge.

Dustin, there was a thread on the Cal Look forum where Sarge debuted his new sidewinder by A-1.

Sarge, I just thought of something... you DO realize that I'll need to re-shoot another photo of your car with the sidewinder, yes?

Isn't so-cal great in the midst of winter.  You can't shovel sun shine.
It was a great day for a run up the coast, I happened to go on a Nova cruise up to ventura on the same day.

that was another infamous So Cal beautiful winter day. I was in shorts and T shirt and was still burning up. Great times.... cars lined up in their back lot, beers cracked @ 10:30am, good friends and a cameo appearance from Jay Leno. Let's do it again.  Cool

VERY cool, Jim! I dig your concept of not being able to shovel snow.

I'm always up for a drive. Name the time and place, Sarge. That was a really fun day.

Yep! The biers came out early, hangin' out with Dyno Don, you guys, some great food, and to top it off... a Jay Leno appearance. GOOD TIMES, for sure. Let's do it again, INDEED!

Dustin, what's the color and year of your car?
When I first saw the pics, I believe seen my own one  Cheesy
It is a slight variation of the original '69 Savanna beige. Those pics didn't really show the color well.

My friend, who owned the car when we did the original restoral, didn't like the green tint of the original color but you can hardly see the difference when looking at the original paint in the engine compartment.

Here is another pic but in person it is appears slightly darker.
