@Josh's09 Please let David and the rest of Thad's family know that our thoughts are with them. Thank you for sharing. Thad and I had many phone calls that started with Cobalt and Goblin talk and ended with talking about family. He told me all about raising his kids and gave me tips for raising...

Here's a scanned copy of your packing lists in case other guys from around the same time have questions about their lists. NOTE: These lists are 8 years old so they will look far different from the lists we send out now. I did redact a couple of pages that had your contact info and address on...

Off-Topic Tuesday 12/2/25 - Sticker Wall Show & Tell It starts with one decal but before you notice, your whole wall, toolbox, trailer, donor Cobalt, etc. is covered in stickers. For me, its the 3D printer cabinet. Share your sticker-bombed wall with us. If you've got some interesting...

Got it. I found the root of the problem and fixed it. Should appear in the "All" list and the "Add-Ons" list now. Thanks for letting me know!

Here's a couple of the things we've been working on Stage 1 of all Goblin kits, V1 and V2, come with pre-formed brake lines with the tube nuts already installed. This includes: master cylinder to front brake tee master cylinder to rear brake tee front brake tee to front caliper hoses (left and...

In case you haven't seen it, I put together this write up to summarize and link to many of the techniques used by Goblin builders to help with building in a smaller space: Building a Kit Car in a Small Garage (or No Garage). You'll see that some guys have made it happen in very tight garages.

One recent development: We originally hadn't planned on using the master cylinder from the donor car. Issues fitting it in the available space and complications with routing lines to the remotely mounted reservoir had us opting for an off the shelf master cylinder. However, some changes that...

Before getting into the update, I just wanted to say that we are doing everything we can to get the V2 kits out as soon as possible. We're more excited about getting V2 out into the hands of customers than anything we've ever done before. On top of that, DF Kit Car won't prosper if we don't have...
