Scored a 1968 Chevelle - Build: peice-together

After this car sat for a few years uncovered without the hood on, here is what it took me to get it running:
-new fuel filter
-new holley electric fuel pump (same as it had, old one was bad)
-new fuel hose
-new radiator hoses and fluid
-new air cleaner
-new spark plugs
-oil change
-new section of hose on the trans line (after it was running found the leak and replaced it)
-new battery
and some GASOLINE!

After I got it running, I cleaned up the engine compartment. polished up the fan and chrome that was there but was rusted. the chrome air cleaner helped its appearance. cleaned the intake manifold and carb, painted the block, alternator, and radiator. then wrapped up all the wires to look neater.

..forgot to mention i did a quick pressure wash on the car to clean it up when i towed it home...

As I said, the car was missing the grille and bumper, well I was able to pick up an original front clip - grille, emblem, bumper filler panel, brackets, header panel and emblem for $100 still originally riveted together, swapped my repro header panel on it because it was much straighter and it looked great. Also picked up an original 68 bumper with the brackets and turn signal assembly still intact for $80. bumper has a couple slight dings but well see how it mounts. Ill be able to sell my 2nd set of brackets, filler panel etc.

..so i got the tail lights mounted back up. tailights and brake lights work. trunk light is wired but for some reason not working, turn signals need help. Anyone know why when i put the signal on for either side, the taillights brightens up but stays solid and doesnt flash????? maybe because the rest of the front and rear lights arent in?

heres pics

got the hood mounted yesterday, fixed a small leak on the radiator, and drove it a little bit. it helped get the brakes to a better point.

anybody know an easy way to repair the overflow outlet on the radiator neck??? its loose and wobbles so if it were to overflow i think the fluid would just leak out before it can make it down the hose to the overflow tank.

Thanks,

some pics...

here are some pics of the original interior it came with...i have all the original door panels, dash, rear view mirror, seat belts, visors etc in great condition. ill just need to install the new headliner, carpet, and rear deck shelf and it will be lookin sweet. a few things before i get to the interior though....and im pretty sure these are original camaro bucket seats

also got the bumpers polished and mounted with the original california plates




the headliner kit that came with the car when i bought it also came with extra material to redo the visors and rear sail panels to match, my visors already match tho and are in good original condition surprisingly.

so sold this thing a couple months ago sucked to see it go but it went to a 15 yr old kid and his dad to finish so i couldnt be more happy...thats how i was introduced to cars. The original Fremont Ca car has now moved from SF to Sacramento. Im in the process of posting up the pics of it the day I sold it, came out nice, all work done by me, couldnt be more pleased. It was good learning. The $$$ went straight into the paint job on my 69 (build thread in my sig) and i was also able to pick up a complete LS1/4L60E combo. So im stoked.
