Default Bad day on the road. Blown motor in Oklahoma

My wife and I left Massachusetts a week ago in our roadster. We've been taking as many back roads as possible. Really enjoying the ride. Blue Ridge Parkway, Smokey Mountains, Ozarks, etc. About 100 miles into Oklahoma, on RT 270 the oil pressure went away and she knocked like crazy. Shut her down. Oil on the dipstick looks like metal flake. AAA towed me to McAlester, OK.

We are on our way to AZ for most of the Winter....well, we were. Trying to rent a box truck or a van and tow dolly. May have to ship my fresh rebuild that's sitting on the garage floor, to AZ. Maybe, I'll just sell it all for scrap. Man am I bummed!
