Chicago, IL

I was just noticing that there seems to be a lot of Firebird owners right here in the Chicagoland area. I took liberty of sending friend request to all members of FBN from the Chicagoland area. I have been on this site for 15mos, and never has it been this many active people in our area. I have met Bobby (phonetek), and purchased a shifter for my 73 from him. This was so much easier than dealing with someone on ebay, we just met in a Sam's Club parking lot and made the transaction ! This site made that happen. I think for those Chicagoans still building our Birds, networking with other members on this site can really help and save time. We can always set-up a ILL Chapter as well. We just need someone to lead the way ! I started this thread, and I basically have rounded all you guy up. So if anybody wants to see who out there in our area just check my friend list, and If I dont have you in there, go ahead and send a request to me. Maybe this will get a ILL FBN Chapter going. If nothing else we can help each other find parts, build, maintain, our Firebirds.

I keep envisioning a bunch of Firebirds gathered at Route 66 in Joliet or at one of the Indiana tracks. I encourage Northwest Indiana folks to respond as well as, those Cheese Heads up north ! We can probably pull something like this off, and have a real nice time. But we will need at least 8 people. Some come on folks lets network, and see what positives come out of it.
