    As promised, here are some picures of the work I've done in the last few weeks.

    This is the trans cooler lines and Lokar trans dipstick. Had to fab a new bracket. I'm using the cooler in the radiator. After Don's experience with his car running so cool, I don't think heating will be a problem. I'm running an aluminum radiator very similar to his.




    Front brake lines and hold-off valve.



    Front brake hoses and new drum brakes. Had to fab a support for the middle of the hose. The quarter eliptic front end is pretty far out away from the frame.



    Master cylinder and valves.



    Fuel pump and filter

    Here are the exhaust supports. The cushions are poly sway bar ends. The band is a 3 1/2" stainless exhaust band clamp that I cut in half. It's polished and blends into the chrome pretty good.

    And now(small drum roll please) here are the final build up pics. All that's left is paint,wiring and a little minor welding. This is pretty much what the Coyote Special will look like on the road.







    A couple close-ups of the engine.

    Congrats! Great looking ride. Simple, functional, and classic! I like the triples and the pipes!

    Gosh Mike, I've got Carburetor envy!!!! Your T is looking fantastic. Sits right and has a good overall look to it. Also like the way you have spent time making brackets and all very strong and neat. Time to cruise!!!!!!

    Are those OTB headlights? Dan has a set and they are really cool.
