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!

Nick (GOR1LA) came over today and gave me a hand with removing the 10 Bolt rear end. The plan is to basically strip it of all cables, brake lines, brackets, etc. and clean everything up and repaint with chassis saver. Most parts will be either sandblasted or wire wheeled. The differential fluid will be changed - gears will not be touched (stock 3.42s).
Overall it wasn't too bad, neither of us had dropped a rear end before and start to finish it took us 3 hours.
We didn't break any bolts or round off any nuts! Verrry happy with that. All bolts will either be cleaned up or replaced.
New Parts for Installation:
Drilled Rotors and New Pads
Double Adjustable Founders Panhard Bar (Red)
Double Adjustable Founders LCAs (Red)
Repainted Calipers (Red)
Repainted Sway Bar (Red)
Misc. Brackets repainted (Black)
Remove spring isolators and install heater hose over top coil
Thanks for the help Nick! ...onto the pictures
And one picture of the painted battery installed... needs another coat or two - missed some crevasses

Looks good I must have missed the "help" text! I actually wasnt doing anything today too, and would have been nice to see you guys!
Looks good Fred, do I get a ride next season?
I'm sorry dude - geez when I do text you, you're busy. And when I forget, you're not busy. lol. I'll write your name on the differential or something to remind me to call you for the install Definitely gonna need help reinstalling the exhaust. This exact rear end might not be going into this car tho... I'm thinking about buying Brent's 16k mile 10 bolt. Probably less rust and the less miles on a 10 bolt, the better. We shall see...
Fully polished my Borla exhaust. Going to be reinstalling it tonight. Painted the hangers and brackets with black rustoleum after sandblasting.
WOW that exhaust looks amazing, will you be doing this every year to keep it up to show?
