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!

DRYSUMP's Yet Another Restoration Project...Project
I'm still too much of a n00b on here, don't know many of you. So, needless to say, I am 100% in the dark too. Was loving the attention to detail on this build, although, it make me feel like a hack!
Since Kolin doesn't get on here much and you guys think he's dying or something...
Kolin is fine, his family is fine. Speed bump is nothing more than that. Project is still moving forward... Check back for updates soon!
Well I was also using the speed bump as an excuse for not posting anything recently but there goes that idea! Thanks pal....lol
As a result of the speed bump, some of the greater detail I'd like to put in will have to be done later down the road.... oh well :/
I would also like to thank everyone for sharing their concerns as well as support for this project, we have a great community here and I truly appreciate it!

Just needs some guidance in decision making
Kolin....I have your stuff minus that one piece....trust me, it'll be fine with the redirect and look equally as cool. What's his face has the other thing and will be glad to put a touch or two on it if needed. I'll get to work on my end and should have them back to you shortly.
How's that for progress everyone?!?!?!

Alright alright alright... I think it is about damn time I share what I've been working on for the last two months with only posting teaser pics. If you figured it out from the teaser pics, I wish I could give you a prize but I don't have one for ya but thanks for not spilling ye old beans.. Anyway time to let some pictures do the talking!
Lets start at the beginning...
Side note I want to mention real quick.... That intake is not the final intake and color, it is our dyno testing intake, mine is awaiting paint. Now for more in-process pictures of my intake
All done priming and sanding just waiting for the color ...
So I suppose you, my pals, my buds, the people of mifbody, might want to see a dyno vid or some numbers or something of that matter right???? Well too bad. Sorry, everyone here gets to share a little bit of my suffering. I plan to run next week but for right now she is all hooked up and just waiting for the button to be pushed! And let me tell you how much its killing me! Either way next week I should be getting it running (fingers crossed), grab a video and post numbers. However until then I suppose I can post what is actually in that engine looking thingy...
