regarding the tunnel cap, I’d cut it into 3 sections and weld the shifter portion, with the rest being removable. The idea is to stiffen the oem shifter but still make it easy enough to route through.

I haven’t seen the new shifter from DF but I’ve heard of it.

Cut the tunnel cap and weld in some gap-fill pieces. Easy peasy!

I feel you (maybe not though). It's been 95 or so every day this week, with humidity, here in PA. Probably sounds like a crisp autumn day to you, but I have sweat out gallons this week. It's tough to focus. But I need to take my seats back out. I have a need to strengthen the tunnel cap. I...

Today I received my second frame, thank you to @Adam, Ray, and the rest of the DF team for giving me another go at this.

Haven’t done anything yet other than unpacking. I plan on adding a few weld-on items so I’m not sure when I’ll get it coated/painted. Gonna put my original gobo next to it in the open garage spot while I swap everything over.

Yay!

So are you going to get a new license plate, go all astral on the hood again, or have a very terrestrial interstellar build this time around?

Same kit # just new frame, so everything is transferring over... I am only replacing the frame, hood, and F/R control-arm and associated stuff.

I am keeping the astral vibes, just doing things a tad differently. Might get my hood professionally wrapped this time, and spend money there rather than on painting, because Powder just isn't gonna be kosher this round.

Finally got off my ass and slapped some bed liner on the new frame, didn't want to spend the money on another powder coat job and i had an extra gallon of the stuff lying around,

On the orignal goblin, I took the seats out and started removing the wiring and front foot box area.

Taking the next two weeks off work for the holidays so I hope to get some progress made.

My biggest concern when tearing down mine was damage to the wiring harness. Treat it nice and go over it to see if there are any abrasions / missing connectors.

Today I finished just about everything critical and took version 2 for a test drive in the neighborhood. It's nice to have it back up and driving after a year of being down.

I need to settle the lighting, smooth out the tune, and align it more. Really happy with everything.

Some folks have mentioned wanting to grab my old frame, if this is you just shoot me message if you're still interested.

You put a lot of money, time and blood/sweat/tears into your Goblin, sorry it is being sold. But, the home boss says the new house and kids come first, so sacrifices have to be made! ;) Who knows, a few years from now you could be ordering kit #999, and have it built in no time flat! :p:D
