I saw that car at Carlislie a few years back. We lost count of how many scoops etc he had on it, most serving no function at all. It's kind of one of those examples of; ' just because it can be done, don't mean it should be!' We really got a kick out of his doors, the hinges stuck out the side of the car as far mirrors.
what is really sad, is that the coyote is/was in WV, its been a few years since ive seen it, but it was floating around charleston WV a few years back, i worked on it for the owner, guy was a few years older than me (early-mid 30's) and he was the creepiest guy ive ever seen! he claims his dad was the original builder of the car (made the molds) and only a couple were sold, he had the yellow one which was a 1988 formula based kit, the fiberglass was in very poor shape and the owner was an idiot, his radiator was leaking about a gallon every 5 minutes and he was asking if i thought he could drive the car to florida and back with it leaking......... he claimed he was an actor, but he had a home here in charleston....

Haha. This thread again. It's an oldie but a goodie. In the past it never ended well, but I think its all being channeled in the right direction.
I respect the amount of work that some of those people put in to "ricing" their cars out. Sometimes its just a spoiler, and other times it actually looks like a lot of work was put in to it just put in the wrong direction in my opinion. To each his own though. Everyone should be able to mod their ride the way they see fit. All that counts is that the owner is happy.

Yeah. You also have to consider the fact that it was a father/son project inspired by movies like The Fast & The Furious when the fad was insanely popular! I can guarantee you though despite the way it might look to some that a good amount of money and work was put into it. It's not my style but like I said to each his own. Regardless, I think it's very cool that a father and son teamed up to design a car.
