DF Goblin Kit Car Build

In this episode, we build a Goblin kit car from start to finish. The DF Goblin uses a Chevy Cobalt as the donor car. The version Nate chose for this build is an '06 Cobalt SS supercharged that made 265whp on a Mustang Dyno. This is the first of MANY projects the team will be tackling!

I'm planning on building one, then I saw the wcec sticker. Definitely building one

[@trevorcalhoun8651]

Well if I can’t sell my 5 speed cobalt ss super charger . Then I might build a goblin .

[@WOTclub]

Why would you want to sell it if building a Goblin is an option?!

[@edwardosborne4467]

I have an 07 SS Supercharged and I'm never selling it because of the Goblin 🤞🏾🦾🙌🏿...once I stage 2 it I know the only potential left is this kit ❤

[@politicallyerect6086]

My favorite part is when the neighbors left, and then came back.

[@ChrisRogersTheAngryChef]

I'm obsessing over this car.

[@WOTclub]

Understandable! It's an amazing kit to build and insanely fun to drive!

[@csl110]

How exciting it must be to finish building it. It's Alive!

[@WOTclub]

It was quite the experience! I try to talk everyone I meet into building one!

[@Ghostrider-zr5xp]

Sick keep the videos coming thank you

[@WOTclub]

Thanks, will do!

[@sstrey174]

Nice vid....Im thinking of getting one of these.

[@WOTclub]

I'd recommend it! It's fun as hell!

@@WOTclub I had a slingshot...got rid of it when too many people got them down here. Ready for another toy.

[@joelyounger]

Nice work!

[@WOTclub]

Thanks!

[@nationalrefrigeration6734]

Hi there love the build can you please send me more information on the chassis supplier.

[@phmiii]

I Must Build One!

[@WOTclub]

You should!

[@conanruisi]

I just came here to say your thumbnail makes it look like a three wheeler lolololol

[@scottlaird497]

ahh so you made the harness and stripped it before hand, should of made it a lot easier. I just ordered mine and think I will do this.

[@WOTclub]

Yeah, we had everything prepped and ready to install when the kit arrived. The harness was by far the hardest and most time consuming part of the whole build so it'll be a good idea to use the time while waiting to get that done and out of the way!

[@Snowcheetah4]

what was the total price if you don't mind me asking?

[@WOTclub]

I'm around 30k into this one but I have a lot of extras. You could do it for half that fairly easily!

[@mavr1ck_garage]

@@WOTclub damn 30k! That's more than I was expecting. How much was the chassis?

[@znaut]

Very nice!

[@WOTclub]

Thanks!

[@greennetworkgreen8025]

I wonder if this would work with a Escort.

[@alphapred]

Great build. I have #408

[@WOTclub]

Thanks! How'd your build go? It's hard to believe there's more than double my frame number already!

[@alphapred]

@@WOTclub I got the last of the run of the short chassis before they discontinued! Made my purchase at 11:55 Dec 31. The build is ongoing. 06, 2.0 with Supercharger yet in automatic. So I've dubbed it The Hobgoblin.

[@WOTclub]

Is it safe to assume that you have the last short frame then?

[@alphapred]

@@WOTclub yes..#408 is the last of the shorties.

[@WOTclub]

What an honor that must be! I was going to sell mine to build another but then I realized I can't do that because mine will be rare one day being the standard frame. So I guess I'll just have to have 2 Goblins!

[@MoniandFredsillyrianGaming]

What did this all cost about ? Was it worth it and how many hours into build? Thnx and nice 👍

[@WOTclub]

This one was about 25k but there's plenty of guys that are about 15k into theirs. Not sure how many total hours. It took about 6 hours to strip the Cobalt. The final build took about 4 full days. The wire harness took the most time by far so if I did it again I think I'd just pay to have the harness built by DF.

[@MetalGuitar06]

@@WOTclub yes, im def going to have them take care of the harness lol

[@mooosestang]

watching the wiring harness portion was too much for me! I'm going to have nightmares.

[@LT1Davo]

You can send it to them to be ready to drop into the car

[@WOTclub]

There's some issues with that too so I'd recommend doing it yourself but if you really can't do it then yeah, having them do it for you is an option.

[@witosarlaw]

Mantap bang... saya juga lagi bikin mini buggy...😊👍🙏

[@decelation]

I am thinking about building one of these after my current build. Was there many modifications you had to do to make it work?

[@WOTclub]

Not really, the kit is very complete and easy to assemble. I did a lot of modifications just because I wanted it to perform even better.

[@decelation]

@@WOTclub that is good. I more than likely will do some modifications as well

[@WOTclub]

@@decelation awesome! What sort of mods you thinking?

[@decelation]

@@WOTclub was mostly looking into power upgrades

[@mcyclonegt]

Pretty sad you stripped a perfectly good cobalt. Nice job.

[@WOTclub]

Not too sad...it's just a Cobalt.

[@bassgee2938]

I'm so creeped out on how that seat at the lower right side of screen starts moving around by itself at 10:10-10:14 of the video!

[@MetalGuitar06]

There’s a person standing behind it

[@Joshua-cl1dl]

Not sure what to think of this video???

[@WOTclub]

Why's that?

[@Qw4zy]

How much into the BUILD?

[@WOTclub]

700 horse!

[@WOTclub]

Just kidding!

[@timetraverler1709]

Will someone please tell me if I can get my big ass in one I want to build one so bad. I haven’t seen one in person!!!!! I’m 6’1’’ 290 lb I’m just a big Kidd at 58

[@WOTclub]

You'll fit! The only frame they sell now is the extended version so height isn't an issue and you can use thinner seats like Kirkwy or something to accommodate the width!

[@timetraverler1709]

@@WOTclub ok thank you so much.
