Couple thoughts:
First off, Goblin build issues. I'm a novice without formal training, who came to a love of cars in my 30s instead of my teens. I've had several build issues and they are 100% self-inflicted. Do I wish there were more videos out there about the process....yeah. But in all honesty this forum is the best place to get questions answered. Had DMs with several people here who are smarter than me, asked a bunch of questions in my build thread and got good answers often in minutes. The Community here is friendly, helpful, and gives back the same respect you give them.
The main things needed to build a Goblin as a novice are: patience, tenacity, patience, and a willingness to read and learn.
Second, the Veedub Redub platform looks awesome. I've been wondering about building a Porsche Speedster replica as a street legal daily driver as "my next project" after the Goblin, but I was put off by all the restoration work required to get a 60s VW chassis in shape. If I understand the project accurately, one could purchase a new chassis from these guys and march forward with a Speedster build - perhaps with engine bay mods to accommodate the smaller VW engine. If that's true I'm pretty stoked....
