If we can get some dry days that are above freezing, I'm down to meet up at the Peace Arch so you can check it out without violating the border closure, kinda like those folks doing visits in tents there.

I'll let you know.

I picked up the donor tonight.

Moving the pedal box is a difficult option and would require a lot welding and fabrication - you should check out the build logs for photos. Moving the steering wheel location is far easier and there are at least 2 builders who have moved the steering wheel location forward.
It should also be noted the 4 inch added into the frame is right at the front edge of the seats - the extended frame has a double crossbar welded in versus a single crossbar for the standard chassis. The steering wheel and pedal locations do not change between the two.
Thanks, going to look into that. My initial assumption was the pedal box would be easier to move.

Steel plate and a Wilwood floor mount pedal box is the route I am going. All of the changes I made were personal preference.

My biggest regret is not buying a donor, but so far I think I am the only one to go that route.

Wouldn't change a thing - track, extended, standard entry - I'm 6'2" and 260lbs. and find entry/exit is fine with the addition of the center 'monkey bar' that I added to the overhead halo. Understanding this is a full cage design there will be some gyrations required to get in and out - the Goblin doesn't have doors.
Additional changes are all mods I decided to make that are not DF design items, because I'm an engineer and I can leave things stock. ;)

I wonder who has modified the chassis the most you or I. Or maybe someone else.

Your side mounts for the heat exchanger(s) influenced me to do the same. Getting a second heat exchanger to mount one on each side for the dual pass setup and entry turbo swap kit. Got a z57 turbo for the kit so want as much cooling for it.
