Critter's #374 Extended Frame Track - 07 SS/SC donor build

[Critter]

Hello Everyone!

My name is Justin and I live in Las Vegas, NV. I should be receiving chassis #374, an extended frame track model with double door bars, sometime in late February or early March. The donor is a 160K mile 2007 SS/SC manual transmission with a bunch of ZZP speed parts already installed.

The plan is to document the build with photos and videos focusing on the little things that are often overlooked/not documented well. The end goal is to have a street legal track car for autocross and track days so I no longer beat on my daily driver. I am looking forward to hearing from the forum, please chime in if there is something you want to see documented more thoroughly in the build process, or if you have any tips/tricks.

Thanks for the welcome! Striving for lots of pics/vids. I am setting up the garage with a time lapse camera and will make sure to post as I go.

Not yet. Gotta get the garage ready for the project but I should be starting the teardown the first week of February.

Best advice for tear down I can give you is label everything. And I’m sure someone will (me) point out don’t forget the grab the parking brake tubes and cables

Will do! I am enlisting the kids to help (15 & 17) so there will be plenty of hands in the mix to "help". Last time my Son helped he was 5....never did find that shifter knob.

I did my own harness rework and it helped out immensely. I also relabeled wires as I cut and spliced. I had never done an wiring or soldering and by the time I was done my car started in the first crank

Welcome.

These cars are a hoot. Your sons will have a lot more to smile about once it is finished.

Nice, looks like there are three or four of us here in Vegas now. Were you going to register yours for street driving?

Grant Cropper lives farely close to me. That's the only other Goblin that I'm aware of here. We both have had our cars registered since January of last year. It's not easy, but it is posible.
