Illinois registration body/frame numbers

[US66TBUCKET]

In Illinois it appears the biggest part of registration is serial/vin numbers for the frame, body, engine and transmission. Do both Spirit and Speedway frames and bodies carry some sort of number for this purpose? I see Spirit probably does. But I really want a front shock setup.

I have Spirit body and frame. There were no serial numbers on them. Your bill-of-sale should be sufficient. As for engine, trans and rear end; they should have a stamped serial [engine] and metal tags for trans and rear end. Save all your receipts.

If you get a rolling chassis or kit we can offer MSO/serial number. We can offer an Arkansas title Too

Back when I registered my bucket in Illinois with my homemade frame the state issued me a number to put on it when I registered it.

Yeah Telman , but as my daughter would say " that was back in the cave days"..... anyway, from what I hear , IL. wants documentation for everything [nuts & bolts included] then you must submit pictures & copies of said receipts to the state who then [if you're lucky] kicks that to the sec. of state police for inspection, who then make an appointment on their schedule , if they pass you they then send the info back to springfield for final approval , if they approve ,they then send a v.i.n. number back to the sec. of state police who again , at their convenience , come back out & affix the v.i.n. tag to your car.........if you're lucky... and don't forget your checkbook , they will tax you on what the COMPLETED car is worth[including your labor] according to them...... This is why it's soooo much easier to buy a complete titled car , then modify as you see fit..

When it comes down to legal matters, I get that people are looking for easy bits of advice. But the fact of the matter remains that with it being legal matters, it needs to be taken up by someone who is versed in those same, legal matters. It seems getting a custom titled and registered is always a gray area, no matter the state involved. For that reason alone, my advice is to get in touch with the Illinois authorities and ask them these questions. Document who you are talking to, and the answers they give you, then move forward with that information in hand.

Yes 4 photos need to be submitted and there is a form asking for serial numbers of the frame, body, engine and trans. When that is accepted the Sec of state police inspect and the registration process begins. And you're right IL is money hungry right now and wants all of what they can possibly find to get their hands on. You should see our property taxes.

I am trying to find someone who has recently gone through the process now.

When I did mine in La after the state police inspection (to verify the engine and transmission were not stolen) the state police issue you the VIN sticker and the state trooper installed it on my body. The frame I stamped in two spots and they record that location for future reference. The MSO meant absolutely nothing in La when it came to registration. Maybe they used it for figuring out the taxes IDK.

@US66TBUCKET , take the auto-response message off your e-mail account. A member here sent you a Personal Conversation, which generated an e-mail notification to you. When that e-mail reached your (apparent) work e-mail account, that auto-generated an away message, which was sent back to me. This may come as a surprise, but I really don't care if you are not in your office, nor do I care what your normal office hours are. If I am going to be getting auto-response messages from your e-mail account, you can pretty much depend on losing the e-mail notification privilege on your forum account.

I cant use my gmail account and you send a long drawn out message for my out of office being on for the one email I can use. A simple request to turn the forum email notifications off would have surficed.

PLEASE DELETE MY FORUM ACCOUNT
Thank You

We do not delete forum accounts. If you cannot stand the heat in the kitchen, it is as simple as you going away and not returning. Easy-peasy.

People, this is the kind of nonsense that really frosts my cookies. He clearly takes issue with the way this forum is operated, yet he goes ahead and registers an account. This gets my spidey senses tingling, right off the bat. Then he wants to allow his e-mail auto-responder send me e-mails that he is away from his desk, like I need to receive additional e-mails, and like I give a rat's rectum if he is at his desk or not. Then, when I fail to approach him, on bended knee, tugging at my forelock, and requesting him to cease and desist, then it is suddenly game on. Now, the bampot is all prepared to whine and complain about our e-mail rules and to show everyone how far he can toss his dolly out of the pram, he wants me to DELETE HIS FORUM ACCOUNT. Which shows the kind of community member he was going to be. On the forum index page, there is a link for all new members, called Before You Register. It gives potential new members an idea of our expectations for new community members. One of the first suggestions made, on that page, is for prospective members to read our Rules Page. There is even a link, to make reading the rules page easy for them. Had this character bothered to read the rules page, he would have already known that -

Requests for membership removal will be denied. The T-Bucket Forums provide free registration, where visitors find the forums and register membership of their own free will and accord. If members find any part of the T-Bucket Forums unappealing, they are expected to simply abandon the forums and never visit them again. Likewise, any requests to have posts removed will also be denied...

This is just one more bad apple that will not get a chance to spoil the whole basket.

Just cut the WORM from the apple and keep the rest. Not deleting his account has nothing to do with blocking his participation--and your ire in check. LOL not trying to stir the pot. Just letting it simmer a little.
