V1 Mayor West's 09 SS/TC Ext. Track Turbo #191 [South Carolina] [Registered] [Sold]

[Desert Sasqwatch]

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...

Yes, I like that. Thanks Kyle! How's yours doing?

It's doing... got some things I'm working through myself.

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.

Worked on dismantling the original #191 frame to prep everything to swap over...

Did you order the driver mod with your new frame?

I ordered one back in November, but delivery/install won't take place until late June

Maybe an enrollment in a driving school should be an option that DF offers with purchase of a Goblin?

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.

 

[Mayor West]

Big doings, this weekend. Got the engine back in, as well as the front a-arms and hubs, as well as an entirely new steering rack.. The original one was bent from the wreck.

 

[Desert Sasqwatch]

Good progress! This one is probably going together more smoothly than the first Goblin, since you already know what you're doing.

 

[Mayor West]

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.

Do us a favor and not crash this time, please?

No promises...

This build is for sale!

 

[Desert Sasqwatch]

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!

Third times the charm....

This weekend I sold build #191 to some guys in Florida, it was fun building it and I hope they enjoy it. I'll let them decide whether or not they make a forum post or whatever.
