Exciting time, Goblin 2.0!
I haven't even built my Goblin 1.0 yet - face palm.

Yes, but the modifications that your putting into yours will far exceed anything I think I’ve seen on here.

Just a few.

Here is a short video of my kit being delivered yesterday. I met them a few miles away so that they would not have to back the truck down my one-mile dead end street.

Was a hassle but got the engine cradle out

had to cut openings to be able apply some heat to the nuts. The pedals were in the way but was able to slice up between them.

And a note on heat, the green propane doesn’t cut it, you need the heat of Yellow MAP Gas to heat it up enough.

Now to clean it up and get trailer hitch welded on so I can get it powder coated with the frame and all the other miscellaneous pieces.

Just FYI- "Peddle" = sell stuff
"Pedal" = them thangs fer yer feet on the floor....
Sorry, couldn't resist....

 

[Jareth]

Sorry I don’t understand?

[Desert Sasqwatch]

Peddle - as in peddle car

Future Goblin owner???

Here are the seat I purchased, glad they were wrapped in plastic, delivery guy left them outside by the garage instead of inside by front door. Box fell apart from afternoon rain.

 

[Desert Sasqwatch]

Nice looking seats.

 

[Jareth]

They had cooler ones but it’s been more than a few years since I had a 38” waist

I feel your pain.... or is it gain.... lol

With the way current supply issues are I have been ordering things way earlier just to make sure I don’t have issues later, example I’m still waiting on wheels that I ordered a month or more ago. So here is today’s delivery from ZZP and some how I was not paying attention and ordered two Timing Chain Guide Bolts

.

 

[RCK605]

ZZP has a pretty good return policy. I sent some stuff back and got in-store credit. Just had to pay the shipping.

 

[Jareth]

I’ll probably just save it for Goblin 3.0, just don’t let my wife know.

 

[Jareth]

Although I only used the last hitch on Goblin 1.0 for my 5150 Whip, I have another one welded onto Goblin 2.0

.

 

[Jareth]

Now that the hitch is done I called a local place “West Coast Powder Coating” only to be told it would be 8-10 Week wait

On Goblin 1.0 I used many, many, many cans of Steel-IT and still think it could have used a few more coats

I’ve read of others using POR-15 but have not seen any close-up photos of the finished project?

Do you have any photos?

[Jareth]

Did not need them yet but did not want to find them back-ordered later when I need them.

And can get over how much nicer 245’s are compared to the 205’s I had on Goblin 1.0

Those wheels look great.

I have some photos in my build thread.

I've read through most of that monster HHR thread, and based on observations from my donor, I think the proper way of installing a catch can is hooking it up to the port inside the intake manifold. From what I remember on mine, I don't recall having any oil in my intake tube or turbo inlet...

And I thought our red/black wheels were hot. Those are really nice.
