Hey everyone! I suppose it's time to start my build log here. A bit of a back story:
I first learned about the Goblin about 2 years ago after seeing a post on Reddit about Adam and his dad making a fiberglass nosecone for a kit car. To be honest, I completely disregarded the car at first because of the Cobalt. Having owned a tuned Honda for years, and seeing the Ariel Atom use a supercharged Civic Type-R engine, I thought whyyyy, of all the options you have, would you pick a Cobalt as a donor car? Granted my only interaction with a Cobalt at the time was with a roommate's girlfriend's gray base model automatic. You couldn't get more boring. It wasn't until I too saw the Off The Ranch videos and really gave it a second look that it made sense. Now I get it.
I have placed my deposit on a extended city frame, have a donor vehicle on the way, and am excited to start the build process! This will be the third "kit" vehicle I have built, the first two being a single seat turbine-powered helicopter, and an ultralight aircraft.
I had typed out a whole story of the trouble I went through getting a donor vehicle, but figured that a wall of text wasn't a good introduction. If anyone is interested, or thinks it might be useful to those in the future, I will gladly post it.
