Hello , I'm new - The Michigan FBody Association

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!

We are the host of the premiere all-FBody event in the Great Lakes area - the Annual Michigan FBody Meet & Greet Car Show.

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!

Hello , I'm new

November 2nd, 2011, 04:59 PM

Hello All,

My name is Duke Elsner, from Traverse City. I've owned my 1969 RS convertible since 1980. For ten years I just kept it alive and drove it occassionally. In 1990 I thought I was financially ready for the restoration to begin, so I carefully disassembled it..... only to change jobs, get married, and move. This made for a rather slow restoration, but now that all the kids are grown and gone, the pace is picking up a bit. My new slogan is "this decade, for sure!"

I think it is because I take it in and out all the time, the rubber has just stretched out, especially at the bottom where it is really thin. It annoys me more then anything.
