This transmission cooler from Specialty Auto-Tech makes plumbing the transmission lines easy. Both fittings on the same end and it easily attaches to the inside of the frame rail out of harms way.

The master cylinder is installed and the lines run along the frame.

Here's a shot of the backside of the Billet Specialties Thru-The-Frame fittings that carry the fluid through the frame to the calipers.

With the fittings installed, the braided lines will be connected from here to the calipers.

The Rock Valley Stainless fuel tank is installed in the trunk behind the seat area and the fuel and vent lines are run.

From the fuel tank, the line runs to the fuel pump and filter mounted on the frame rail and then to the Ford Racing Parts crate motor.

Heat shrink clamps from Gates provide a neat alternative to ugly hose clamps.

Emergency brake cables are run to the rear and split to go to their respective calipers.

Here's one of the coolest things about this Giveaway Car. Wilwood's new internal emergency brake. Hidden from view, this emergency brake is like drum brakes inside the rotor to clamp the wheels.
