Finally got around to this.

Annual valve adjustment and oil change up next...

...then should be good to go for SLO!

That paint coloris just plain beautiful. To me, it just gives me a "Summer like" feeling !

Looking good, Nick! Looking forward to catching up with you for 2023 West Coast Cruise in SLO (usual rendezvous in Malibu on Friday morning).

Thanks Jim. Yes, Malibu Friday morning. Could be a small caravan...!?

Thanks for all the replies guys. SS Exhaust cleaned up nicely as well...

Also, when I was under the car doing the valve adjustment, I noticed that my rear tires are wearing excessively in a very short period of time (almost down to the indicators in less than a year and only 1,500 miles).

@MusbJim any recommendations for a good alignment shop in SoCal Orange County area?

I'm assuming it was the inside of the tires? I have an IM that eats tires as well. Check your negative camber.

No, they're worn pretty evenly across. Here's a picture...both left and right are pretty much the same wear. Air pressure was approx. 26-28 psi.
