The Arcminute Cosmology Bolometer Array Receiver (ACBAR) is a 16-element bolometer array with an angular resolution of 5'. Taking advantage of the excellent observing conditions at the South Pole, ACBAR has produced temperature maps of the cosmic microwave background with unprecedented resolution and sensitivity. I will discuss the prospects for the complete data set which will nearly quadruple ACBAR's integration time and increase ACBAR's sky coverage by a factor of 6.5. We expect the uncertainties on the band-powers to be halved over the fourth and fifth acoustic peaks and the damping tail of the CMB power spectrum. The final data set should also constrain the magnitude and spectrum of the "excess power" first reported by CBI.
