Happy Spring!

It has been a rainy start to the spring but the hot, sticky

Nebraska weather is just right around the corner.

Thanks for all those who did the poker run! It was great

weather until the very end and then we got rained on.

Stacy and I rode the bike so we left a little early and

made it to a gas station just in time for the hail!!!

For those that could not make the last meeting, I will be

taking a small leave of absence from the club because of

my job. This will only be for about 5 months so Bob Mo-

bely will serve as your President while I’m gone.

I will be leaving for Nashville, TN on May 9th for three

weeks to help another crew. From there I will be in

Maryland just right outside of Washington DC for about 5

months to start a pilot program. I will fly home every six

weeks so I’m hoping to make it back for the car show.

I know the club is in very good hands. I have the best

board that a president could ask for. Thank you Bob,

Margret, Gary, Jana, Jim, and Craig.

THIS MONTH WE HIGHLIGHT OUR REBELS MEMBERS

Bob and Kathy Andrews

by Jim Jensen

I purchased this standard model 1940 Ford from Palmer

Meyer in December of 2012, when he was no longer able to

work on his cars. Palmer had two 1940 Fords sedans. He had

begun to update this one, modifying items such as the igni-

tion. The wiring and installation of gages had been

started. The interior had been renewed sometime in the

1970's. The black lacquer pain job is also from the 70's and

shines up nice. I finished the wiring, added side mirrors, in-

stalled an aluminum radiator and electric fan. I plan to finish

installing the air conditioning. It will probably be one of very

few Ford flat heads with air conditioning. It is a very fun car to

drive. I call it the "town car" because in 1940 there were not a

lot of paved roads and the gearing in the rear end is very deep

and highway speeds of today are a lot faster than this car was

made to go.

Note from Jim Jensen: I have known

Bob for over 60 years. He always

comes up with some fun toys to play

with.
