Do I have to know how to weld?

No, you do not need to know how to weld to build a Goblin kit car. The chassis is delivered fully welded and ready for you to begin assembly.

Each Goblin chassis is welded in a dedicated jig, then placed on a rotisserie so we can complete, inspect, and quality-check every weld. We use a detailed checklist on the rotisserie to confirm that no welds are missed before the chassis leaves our shop.

To make assembly as straightforward as possible, we include tabs and mounts for the components the average builder will need to install, including:

  • Seat and harness mounting points
  • Brake hose mounts
  • Ground lugs
  • Radiator mounts
  • Additional brackets and mounting points for common Goblin components

You can complete a standard Goblin kit using common hand tools and basic shop equipment, without doing any welding yourself.
