The gold is really nice, not a very common color used on a Goblin. Can't wait to see how it turns out. Is that a '68 stingray in the garage?

The color was supposed to be Bright Orange Metallic, It is more gold. But it is growing on me. the Corvette is a 1973 Stingray. the ultralight is a Badland Aircraft.

Nice. '73 was the last year for a chrome bumpers - on the rear - with the urethane front bumper. Guessing it's a project too? The ultralight is definitely a project. Hopefully you can get the time to work on all of these, but the Goblin will likely be less work to complete.

The Corvette, other than needing air conditioning , is complete. The ultralight is 95 percent done. I have to finish the cowl , make a new fire wall and get a few more drilled bolts.Nice.

Ark A ride would be great! It would be great to see some of the components and see how others are building their Goblins.
Ark :D

Ok, we'll try to get you a ride in one weekend before it gets cold. This weekend isn't looking great due to the weather forecast, but we'll see.

Be aware that a N/A cars will have many subtle differences from the T/C versions. Don't be afraid to shout out if you're finding weird stuff! Most goblin builders have only dealt with either the S/C or the T/C car and I can't blame them for a having narrow experience. I have a few years of working on base model Cobalts to N/A SS cars, but only 1 T/C car. Ya don't have to pop smoke or use up a flare, just post it here and we'll see if we can figure it out.
