Welcome to the Michigan FBody Association website.
The Michigan FBody Association is a centralized website for FBody enthusiasts to discuss what's going on in the Michigan area. MiFbody.com was created to allow for an easy one-stop place to find out what's going on in Michigan as far as FBody events, to find out what clubs are available in your immediate area, and for an easy place to post classifieds for items you want to sell! Our goal was to create a more close-knit community of FBody enthusiasts in the state of Michigan, and to bring Camaro and Firebird enthusiasts alike together for some amazing FBody events!
The most important thing to know about the Michigan FBody Association is that we are NOT a club! The Michigan FBody Association is open to everyone, and is a community. Thus, we will have get togethers, casual cruises, events, and such like that, but this is not an exclusive club and it's 100% free to join this site! So what are you waiting for? Register now!
If you have any problems with the registration process or your account login, please contact us!

Well I picked up a "Ram Air" air box/radiator support from Jon and installed it today. Everything was great, except the air filter tray from my stock box was about 1/8" too short and wouldn't fit over the ridges that lock it into place on the sides. The solution involved a cut-off wheel The one side is locked in and the other just sits on top of the ridges - no harm done in my mind as it will not affect performance and can not be seen with the lid on.
I don't know if there is a different tray for the WS6 Ram Air air box, but the one I bough from Jon didn't have one. If there is a different tray, I have no clue why GM would have made two separate parts so close in design...

And here's the battery tray - decent quality. Worth the $32 to keep the battery from sliding an inch in any direction
You painted your's right? Any pictures of it? And how did you do it? I was thinking of making a custom box out of sheet metal. These things are way bigger than they need to be...

could you really tell a difference from before/after. Make sure you document your polishing technique, i wanna see how you do it!
HUGE difference. It will be even more drastic with this new set. The only thing that will change from before is the final polishing. It will be done with a hand polisher with a foam pad and liquid compound. I'll probably just take it to the shop that did my paint work. Or Joel, but I don't get out his way too often.
