V1 New build coming soon.

[FunkyMonk]

It looks like the goblin got to me.. Im looking into buying one and try and get it registered in Texas. (Houston).

Question #1
are there any goblins in Houston area. I was hoping maybe I can get a ride in one come take a look at it.

Question #2 as of 2021 has anyone had issues not getting registered in Texas.

Question #3 I'm going to be buying each stage as I go, does that deposit (750) go towards stage 1.

I hope I'm in the right thread.

Bill's Street/Track Goblin - 2007 SS/SC - Chassis #204

All this started one day when, believe it not, my wife agreed having a "kit car" would be cool. After discussions, she was more referring to replica cars which are much more pricey than what I had in mind. In any case, I started looking more into the Goblin as it was on the cheaper side of...

Hello everyone! My name is Cody Pederson and I live in Victoria, Texas. I have been following this page for a few months now and pop in here and there every couple of days to see what's new. I first found the Goblin on a hunt for a "buggy" of some sort. Growing up I wanted a go-kart more than...

Thank you, this is much appreciated. It's nice to see kit cars legal in Texas. As soon as I buy my donor car I'll make a build post. By the way if anybody needs nice photos of their car let me know. I'll do it for free just because I love the hobby. I have a professional camera setup.

The woodlands

Awesome. Looks like you have been in contact with JBINTX. Welcome to the club. I am sure we will cross paths at some point.

 

[FunkyMonk]

Well nice to meet you then. For anyone in the Houston area, please come to Market Street in the woodlands 9595 sixpines Dr. We host two car shows on this property. The first car show is on the first Sunday of every month The other car show is on the 15th of every month. Both car shows are for charity. I do work on this property and help set the car show up. so please come out bring your goblins. And we call all meet if anyone has time. Car shows start at 7:00 a.m. and ends at 11:00. This is the woodlands area so there's many cars that you get to see in the car show that you don't normally see on the road. Lamborghinis McLaren's Ferraris GT500s old Shelby's.
