i’m good on parts, i’m just short on time, i still have to lift the motor enough to drop the subframe and pull and reseal the oilpan, wire and mount all the gauges, tires and breaks, and then i still need to break in the motor and get a tune. These are the thingd that worry me, but hopefully i’ll get my shit together this/next week.

My axles are FUBR and 2 spherical bearings have play in them. So I’m running a little behind as I wait for parts to come in and resolve the issues I’m having with 1 shop.

I’m not going anymore. I don’t feel like rushing to get everything done and have it break on the trip. Plus money is a factor right now. All my money is going into the car, I won’t have any for the trip.

Ok just got off the phone.

So my fuel pump and filter were lost by UPS, so those have to be resent.  
My aeroquip stuff hasnt been ordered yet  
My fuell cell is back ordered and wont be shipping till next week  
My new hatch, is back ordered  
My cage is tenatively going in May 1st, but they say due to a customer car it may be a few days later, with a 10 day turn around puts me at May 11-13… Not to mention, wiring, tuning, etc which still needs to be done. I’m thinking I’m going to need to bow out on this one, and I’m pretty pissed off about it. I’ll know for sure tomorrow or Wednesday.
