I live in Zion just off Sheridan road. Stan it may have been your Cobra that snake bit me, I heard one rolling down the road past the restaurant I was in with a friend and went to the front window and watched and listened to the nice sounds. May never be able to afford but sure hope I could. Good to know there are some in the area.. Wayne

Illinois member/owners - any issues or information to know regarding registering build cars in IL? Read thread on WI (https://thefactoryfiveforum.com/showthread.php?14032-Registering-process-in-Wisconsin) and Hawaii registration process and any insight would be helpful. [posting to an old thread, I didn't see a more recent IL thread]. Kevin
