The Eighth Air Force Museum (Maybe it's called the Strategic Air Force Museum) Is just south of Lincoln.  It's a great museum for WWII buffs.  lots of early warbirds.  If time permits, that could be a good couple of hours spent.

Well, I went back and reviewed MS's mini bash rules from his 12/2021 post prior to a Bryant TX mini bash.  He stated vehicles must be 25 year old Fords, so perhaps you can revoke the Fox exception. LOL

I guess I need to go pull the cover off the car and fix the power steering leak.....

Thanks for organizing this, BB.

As an aside, I visited the Corev*** museum in Bowling Green KY a couple of weeks ago (10 years since the sinkhole incident).  They had 3 engines on display:  a complete Ford Flathead, a Ford Flathead block with Ardun heads, and a token SBC.  Can't wait to see 600 in one place!

It looks like Blueprint Engines is 2 hours west of Lincoln.  It would possibly be able to get a tour scheduled on Friday (closed on weekends). 

I'll be traveling in May and will not be able to attend. 

Cool, Ed.  Yeah, I remember Tom.  Hope you guys can make it.  My concern is that we might not be able to REALLY see that museum in only eight hours.  I could probably spend that long in the Model T and Model A engine sections.

Not sure at this time due to work schedule.

Would like to make it, it’s only 12 hours of driving.

If you are ever up this way (Seattle area) and want to see an amazing collection of WWII aircraft and armor - visit the Flying Heritage and Combat Armor Museum at Paine Field airport near Everett, about 35 miles north of Seattle. It was the museum that the late Paul Allen put together before he died. I am a volunteer there at the museum and my job is cleaning and detailing those absolutely beautiful aircraft. The museum was sold by Paul's sister, Jody, to Stuart Walton, one  of the owners of Walmart. He thankfully kept the museum there in Everett and didn't move it all somewhere else. Here is a link:  https://flyingheritage.org/ Check it out.

Hope you can squeeze it in, LT.  Love to see ya.

MS:  800 miles would prolly be a bit much for you delicate condition right now...even in a month.
Next time, fer shore.

Fighting some less than 100 miles demons on the fresh build and I'm supposed to have the top installed on the 15th of April so put me in the tentative column.

Outstanding, Gary.  We'll, RPM and I, and possibly RV6, will be coming through Pueble to pickup my passenger, then northish.  We could hook up with you fairly easy.  Sure hope you can make it.
I know about gremlins.  The heap just plain shut off down in Texas last year, then did it a couple of weeks ago with an entirely different ignition in it.  Research lead me to possible wrong use of  di-electric grease for the TFI when Thermal grease is specified.  Supposedly that will cause the issues I've had.  Fixed it (I hope) today.

Were you burning up the TFI or just overheating when they shut down? 

Just overheating, Alan.  It just quit running and then after 10 seconds or so, started back up and went down the road.  I've been chasing harness problems but now I think it was the di-electric grease not letting the TFI heat dissipate into the dizzy body.  Just why Ford when to the remote TFI.  I'll probably  remote the silly think, pretty easy, even though I never had a problem until I used the wrong grease, I believe.  But,  I do remember how you did yours, looked at it at the Bash.
