V2-001

V2-001 is Welded

The first production Goblin V2 chassis came together over the past month, and on February 26 it moved out of the shop and into the bed of the truck for the drive to our local coater.

This one's a full-cage chassis with our easy-entry door bars. This door bar style gives you a clean step-over without the awkward limbo most full cages demand.

Headed to the Coating Shop

V2-001 is going to Precision Powder Coating in Crandall, TX. Precision has been our coater for many years. They know our parts, they know what we expect, and they know how to hand a chassis back to us in a condition our customers expect.

Turnaround is running about two to three weeks right now, which puts V2-001 back on our floor in mid-March.
