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!
Progress looks great, moving at quite a fast pace! What was your method to polish the rear tail lights? I have seen a lot of different things, from buffing them to sanding them down.

I've been working on it just about every night.
The tail lights were polished with PlastX using a polishing ball from a headlight restoration kit on a drill.
Looking good! Random question where did you get that plastic thats covering the iroc? I'm sure i could find it overpriced at home depot but just curious.

It's 3M overspray protective sheeting. It comes on a roll and has a coating on one side that attracts the overspray. It makes a great car cover and I wanted to get it on the IROC and Pace Car as things get a little more dirty. The film has a little bit of a static cling to it that keeps it on the car. We use it at work when a car is done and detailed before the customer comes to pick up. We get it from Automotive Color and it was about $49/roll.
Couldn't find the 2 screws on the bottom of the A/C box huh? LOL
Nice progress so far!
That wasn't it. I was going to leave the box until the engine was out because it's just easier. On the way out the engine was getting stuck on it. I'm putting back the 1LE non-AC box so I just said F it and removed it with a sledgehammer.
More than that. The engine bay is getting painted. The core support is getting POR15. All the suspension and steering parts (less the steering shaft and gearbox) are being replaced. Control arms and other non-replaceable suspension parts are getting powdercoated.
Pumped out the rest of the fuel. I let the fuel pump do the work before it retired. Being in storage for years, I was afraid what I would find in the tank. Surprisingly, it was perfectly clean.
New Racetronix Walbro 255lph pump to support the LS3.
Cleaned, prepped, and painted the underbody.
Cleaned and painted the wheelhouses. I left the original coating because I wanted it to look factory. Just cleaned and painted.
