Bio

I'm an aerospace engineer, have worked many jobs in the industry, and I am looking forward to taking that permanent vacation from work someday not too far into the future. I've been a gearhead since before highschool and have owned too many cars I wish I still had #sigh#. But being an engineer means that everything can be improved, which has led to my building experiment, which is slowly evolving past a basic Goblin. But dang, I'm having fun!

How did you find the Goblin?

After life forced me to dispose of my previous project car and several years had gone by, I was looking for another project. Found the Goblin trolling around the interweb and the rest is history.

What drew you to the Goblin?

Cheaper than a Seven kit, kinda looked like one, and it had potential. Liked the idea of a mid-engine layout and using a single donor for the build.

How does it fit into your lifestyle?

Both

What have you modified that sets it apart?

Almost everything has been modified, not too much left that hasn't. I have created a lot of firsts with the mods, gotten things fabbed up, but don't have them tried yet.

Any memorable trips, races, or events?

Not yet.

Favorite aspect (design, performance, or community)?

My favorite part is the community. There are soooo many great people who are part of the Goblin family! I'm glad to be a part of our community!

Any future plans?

Get my Goblin finished someday. Get all of the mods tweaked and tested. Keep working on news ideas that may help someone with their build.
