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!

I bought my old 93 Z28 back, now it needs some TLC
oh, btw, the ebrake hasn't been pulled up in my year of owning it nor the previous owners.
Suggestions? I am going to get the car weighed either tonight or tomorrow. Any guesses on what its going to weigh in at? No weight reduction yet to my knowledge.

to take off your shifter handle? there is something that should look/feel like a staple on the front side of the handle. slip a flat blade screwdriver under that and take it straight out (will look like a staple) then the handle will slip right off

Ok, now I know what you are talking about. What about the ebrake? I am afraid to pull the lever all the way up because I haven't ever used it. Any way I can take it off wihout pulling it up??? Im open for options.
Thanks!

Are you wanting to take the e-brake off entirely or you're trying to remove the center console? The e-brake system is pretty straight forward - especially for calipers - so I doubt it'd get frozen if you pulled the e-brake up.

Either way ill probably end up removing the whole thing.

If that's the case- you can crawl under the car and disconnect the main e-brake cable at a T where it then goes to the rear calipers. It's under the car next to the driveshaft.
just pull the ebrake handle as far as you can up and it should lift out with it like that, or disconnect it first as brian said and then pull it fully up or i dunno engauged? and the counsel should slide straight up, oh wait...you might have to spin it 90 degrees so basically the front of it is in the drivers area and the back is in the passenger seat area. I took it out a few times with the seats in so without seats should be even easier

Ok sounds good. I saw the staple when i was fiddeling with it the other day but i thought it was a staple to hold the knob together better
lol, im getting it weighted tonight. Ill let you know the weight. Im excited to see what it weights in at. Full fluids except 1/4 tank of gas.
I am going to tackel the surface rust this weekend. Has a little on the rear fender lips that go into the wheel well. there is some at the bottom of the rocker, a little under the hood and some on the back hatch jamb. Nonthing major, just a little 150 grit to knock it down to bare metal and lay some epoxy on and it should be good to go. More pictures this weekend.
