Progress pics posted. Big thanks to my buddy Scott who owns Heritage Customs. He did all of the work on the car.
He installed a new gas tank and sending unit, cleaned and repainted the trunk (including getting rid of some surface rust), and reinstalled the stock steering wheel.
Under the hood the car now wears the correct hipo air cleaner, a "clone" hipo Autolite 4100 carb has replaced the Holley 750 DP, a new fuel pump and lines, and the battery is back where it belongs. He got rid of most of the ugly wire mesh hose stuff and did a little paint work as well.
I also just had the exhaust redone from the manifolds back. The 20 year old pipes on the car just weren't cutting it.
Next on the list are new seats and a dash pad.

Purplenotch was a nice car, especially after all the suspension and brakes were done, but I got tired of sinking money into a car and not getting it back. I can put money into the K, improving it little by little, and have the value go up accordingly. Plus I bought it for about what I sold the '87 for... a complete steal, way under what the car is worth.

True that Dave I sunk over 20k into that engine bay and only sold that car for 11k... It was a fun build but it took me quite a few years to get out of that hole even after i sold the car.. really should have just kept it since it did cost so much $$ to build. Nice old school btw much better having some value! Good luck on the project.

Thanks, Shaun. Good to hear from you. I will keep chipping away at the fastback too. That's my big money pit.
