V1 The wife’s Goblin, 2007 L61 F23

[Robinjo]

The wife decided she wants it in Illusion Royal

I like that color a lot. White wheels would really pop on that.

 

[Rttoys]

Trying to get the ball rolling and get the wife and I ready for goblinfest

That’s only 2 months out. Better hurry.

Goblin out for a second ride in the truck (first ride was home from red oak) off to the powder coat shop

 

[Rttoys]

I can’t believe you still have those mirrors on your truck. i ditched mine as soon as 06 ones came out and found out they were plug and play.

 

[Markm]

Assembling and painting small parts. I ordered 5 point harnesses from White Safety Equipment near Oklahoma City, their harnesses are made to order and shipped out the next day. I ordered cam lock with pull up lap belts and can’t wait to get to install them.

 

[Markm]

Got a sneak peek picture from the powder coat shop this morning. I’ll have to look it over good when I pick it up. I read about a few of y’all having some minor imperfections in the powder coat.

Made a little progress today after my normal work. I started late but got about 3 hours of work done today on it. I think I’m going to make the new holes to move the steering wheel away from you since we opted for the quick release steering wheel and the wife’s short legged stature. I pulled the coolant hoses, painted the brake lines, installed the steering limiters, floor, installed brake lines, steering rack, Installed eps unit.

Looking Excellent! It doesn’t hurt that blue is my favorite color. You hope to make the Goblin weekend? Cheers! Keep up the great work!

The plan is to try for her birthday September 10 and take it to a local show September 14

 

[Markm]

I think this is where I insert “I’m out of build videos” time to keep on rolling

 

[Rttoys]

Shouldn’t be out of videos? Engine is not in and such.

Well almost but this one is n/a for now and the last two are for forced induction

 

[Markm]

Compared to what it looked like the dishwasher did a pretty good job cleaning up the fuse block mount and cover

 

[Desert Sasqwatch]

And your better half knew you put those 'garage parts' in her dishwasher? You're a brave man!

Well she did leave me home unsupervised LOL

Few more pictures of progress. I did catch myself putting the springs on the wrong end but at least it’s only the fronts I need to swap out. The few things I needed a little help on I was able to find by searching. So far so good and hope to be finished up by the time she gets home tomorrow.

I love the switch box, Cardboard Aided Design(CAD) for the win!

When doing my front suspension I found out you can mount the coil overs upside down. So I mounted mine with the adjuster knob at the top facing out. Way easier to adjust on track days
