After buttoning up the brake system and putting the front end sheet metal back on, the car was back together by April of 2005. I ball-parked the alignment with some string and straight edges and cans, then I hit the road. I was underwhelmed by the manual braking set-up, but it was nice to have the Camaro back on the road with no slipping clutch, no leaking brakes, and no knocking valvetrain. The car was much more streetable with a good clutch and the 3.73 rear gear as well, although the big cam was still a pain in the ubiquitous stop-and-go traffic of East Oahu. I still wasn’t sure about the timing, and the car bogged down under heavy acceleration, but it was nice to be running again!
