My name is Jim and I've been interested in a Goblin for years now but for one reason or another I've been holding off from buying one till now. I have brother who lives in Arlington Texas and on my last visit a few weeks ago I stopped in Red Oak to see Adam and Lonny and put a deposit down on 2 Goblins, one for me and one for a buddy of mine. It was great to meet with Adam and Lonny and see there facility where they manufacture the Goblin's. What an impressive shop! So organized and clean, everything marked and labeled in there bins. It's great to see a father son team like these two. They showed me, my wife and brother around there shop and Lonny's gave us all rides in his Goblin. Made for a great day.
So my plan is to build my buddies Goblin first (this way any screw ups happens to his! LOL!) which he wants to go all out and build the turbo version. For me, I'll have to settle with a manual shift base model or possibly a supercharger version then upgrade to a turbo someday.
We are still in search of donors on Copart and IAA just waiting for the right one to come along. I'm anxious to get started on this build. I'm sure I will be asking for advise and information in the months to come and wanted to interduce myself now that I will be starting my build soon.
Any advice ahead of time would be appricated.
Thanks in advance Jim
BTW I have met Ron (Karter 2026) who is local here to me in Pittsburgh, PA. He has been a big help in ideas and information and on what needs done for legalizing the Goblin here in PA.
