LUKE! You better make it this time.

The BEAMS might be in the car and running perfectly but I keep finding more and more things I need to buy to make that car good to make it there. For instance, I regarded my battery relocation as complete before because I could get power to all of my accessories. Now I'm thinking I actually need to run another wire for the negative terminal, even though I have it grounded. And once we get the motor in the car and get it running, who knows how the wheel bearings, brakes, etc. are? I'm not 100% confident that the car will be drivable and capable of making it that far. I know it was perfectly capable the day that the motor blew up, but the car has been sitting virtually unmoved for a year and a half. It has 4 mismatched tires on it, 3 of which were shot when the car was parked and now have a year and a half of dryrot. On top of the potential problems (that I'm praying I don't have,) that week will be expensive as hell for me. In addition to the unknown expenses that will surely come up during the swap, random trips to parts stores to get stuff, it'll cost me a couple hundred for the exhaust, $150 for the license plates, $350 for insurance, and who knows what else I'm forgetting.

I'd love to make it to this meet with a BEAMS powered Celi and I'm going to do everything I can to make it happen, but I just can't make any promises that I'll be there.
