The best part is when you see the number in front of yours and you get all excited because you are next…………….then to see the one after yours being built and you start questioning…….did I pay them? Did the check clear? Did I even order it? Do they hate me?
This same thing happened to me not 3 weeks ago, haha. 371, 372...374?? Then 373. But no big deal; DF has a method and we should all trust that method!

Good morning Goblin Family & Friends!
A gentle reminder: Not always do we weld in order AND I am not always able to take & post photos of each chassis. I do my best but there are times I am not here, etc. If you ever have a question about your chassis in particular you are welcome to email us @ [email protected]
Warehouse working on crates for the transmissions that have been ordered. Once crated, they get cardboard box surrounds for UPS shipping. If you buy more than 1, we have to send on a pallet via YRC.
Hoping to ship these before the end of this week!
Speaking of shipping, we've been experiencing some delays with UPS as they have not been here in the last 2 days but we fully expect them to be here today. We have lots of shipments for them to pick up & will be glad to see them go!
We're still on hold with Stewart Transport for word on pick up dates for several regional shipments but we know they are doing their best. We heard word the other day that Factory Five has kits they've had ready to ship since January that still have not gone out so we're in MUCH better shape!
The good news? Stewart Transport has 1 more in-trailer crane system trailer that should be hitting the roads soon! On top of that, Stewart has yet to date, let a kit sit here longer than 2 weeks or so after we have everything ready. If you have any questions, please email us @ support.
Have a great day y'all!

#382 on the jig....Ignore the deposit date...Info is pulling from a bad field & on a list to be corrected
#379 finished up & waiting to be moved off the rotisserie
After chassis pass inspection, they move into a holding room so to speak until we're ready for it to move into a staged area where it gets loaded with kit contents, etc.
Ray is our Welding Supervisor & Lead Welder - He welds all of our Goblin chassis'. We also have 2 other experienced & great welders that we're so happy with! The 2 welders are able to keep manufacturing parts & pieces that Ray needs to weld your chassis. 3 welders & we're gearing up to a steady 3 Goblins a week! There will be a week's break on chassis welding the week of the 14th as Ray takes a week off during Spring Break.
If you've not been here in the last month or two, you'll see some big changes in these next pictures!
Have you visited our store site & purchased your very own DF Goblin decals? BUY YOUR GOBLIN CLAW DECAL HERE
Today is my Friday as I am taking a vacation day tomorrow. Have a great day & weekend y'all!

Good afternoon Goblin Family & Friends!
#317 hit the jig today...
Looks like Stewart Transport will be here sometime Friday or this weekend for a pick up of 5 kits headed to MO/KY/MI/MI/CT. We're still on hold, pick up date pending for 1 kit that they had to pull a few weeks ago due to no trailer space & 2 other kits that we've had ready since the 28th of February. We know Stewart Transport is doing their best for us & as we looked into other possible options (even YRC), costs were sky high. Nature of the transport game right now.
Yesterday we had a great visit from Rob (#387) as he flew in to take a tour all the way from MI. We strongly encourage everyone to come visit us at one time or another if at all possible!
Have a great afternoon y'all!

Got my call earlier from Stewart so fingers crossed early next week I'll get to lay eyes on my frame!
I really need to plan a trip down to Red Oak...

Seriously thinking about a trip here in a couple of months. 12h drive each way, but would stay in the area for 4-5 nights. Any recommendations for things to do in the area? I’ve spent some time in Plano over the years for work but never been to the DFW area with the family (2 and 5 year old boys).

I flew down and was only there a couple of days. Worked one day, visited DF, and saw a friend in Allen the other. My wife and I did the JFK tour on the way to the airport, but can't give you any other suggestions outside of that.

#317 looks quite a bit different than she did yesterday
Parts that go on for days
We have another visitor coming today - Shawn. He wants to know more about us & about our kit so he's coming by later today. The guys are always happy to give tours, talk shop & give a ride in a Goblin if at all possible! Call or email us today to schedule yours!
Have a great day y'all!
