Side note, I would love to have some of you hard core TC'ers numbers for tech help, and parts you might have.

That would be acceptable; I have a niece in Round Rock that I need to visit soon after our move anyway. The proverbial two birds with one stone!
Our move is scheduled for March 15, but may slip. I'll keep you informed.

I'm going to try and drop by Top Notch in the next week or so and see if I can talk to somebody in charge about having our get together there some time in April and see what the best dates for it might be. It looks we will only have 6 to 7 cars at the most, so I really don't think it would be a issue if we just showed up unannounced, but I don't want to interfere with another event that they might have scheduled.

Well, I finally in touch with the owner at the at the Top Notch drive in. He's all for us having a meet up at his establishment. I told him I was expecting from 5 to 8 cars to show, he said it should be no problem. They have a number of events on weekends in the spring, but Saturday, April 14 is clear. So if you guys are still interested, let me know and we can start ironing out the final details.
Here are some of my ideas so far:
Meet at the Top Notch around 2:00-2:30PM. That should give everyone enough time to make the trip, spend a hour at the meet, get back home in one day.
Since I'm near by and don't have to spend gas money and some of you will have a long drive, for all of those that show up I'll buy lunch at the Top Notch you and your wife/co-pilot/best bud if you bring them. By the way, here's the menu:

We'll take photos and videos to post on the NATO site.
We could have a little swap meet too, if you have TC parts you are looking for, or things you want
trade, sell, or give away, we can post them here and bring them along to the meet if anyone's interested in those parts
If any out of towners are interested, we could take our TC's on a little curse around Austin, down by UT, the Capital, Congress Ave. to south Austin, then back around on the west side over the lake on the Capital Of Texas HWY. It would be a very nice drive on a spring afternoon if it's not raining (about 1hr).
Any additions, subtractions, adjustments you guys have, let's post them and start finalizing the details.
Looking forward you there!

Bank is messing around, my move is now delayed until March 30. I'm still going to try and make the meet, but it's getting iffy. Don't reschedule on account of me, though.

I don't think my car will be running yet. I'm getting married at the end of the month so I have no time to work on it. I hope this goes well and I can go next year or maybe a fall meet. Have fun
