Hmm, I might stop by.  I'm going to be in Milwaukee that weekend anyway.  When are you going to have your car at the show?  I can be there either early Saturday or early Sunday.  Most likely Saturday, before the Brewers game.  I might be moving too slow on Sunday to make it...  I've never been to a Goodguys show, is there usually a good mopar turnout?

I'm gonna burn the entire weekend out there... I can't really answer on the amount of Mopars because I never been to this one before. It's gonna be my first time bringing my car to a show though.

PM me for my cell if you think your gonna make it out there.

Was good to meet you in person Recharged, I think we should use your opening comment for board members to identify each other at these shows...

I didn't win squat, but still had a good time. The black cherry w/ purple pearl '69 Charger took home the Dodge's Choice Award, and the blue & white '71 Hemi Cuda Convertible took home two awards. I can't remember which ones. Car was sweet though.

I am amazed that there were only 4 Chargers on the grounds all weekend. 1 first Gen. and 3 second Gen. And, not a single wing car to be seen...

Good to meet you too Arig, great Charger!  The custom detail work you've done on it is awesome. 

I agree, I was a bit bummed by the lack of Mopars, especially considering the overall size of the show.  Oh well, I guess that's what makes them so special.    I assume this is the 69 you were referring to?  Definitely a nice one.  (Kinda reminds me of Stratocharger's ride)  It was the only picture I managed to snap before my batteries crapped out.

Haha, good idea, but I'm not sure how many guys would handle it as well as you did.  If I try it too often I'll probably end up getting smacked.
...For everyone else, when I found his charger I walked up and said "Nice Charger, my dad used to have one just like it."  "Like this one?"  "Yup.  Black...with the same wing, same decals, same everything."  To his credit, that's when Arig walked away instead of taking a swing at me.  He has more patience than I woud have, with a smartass like me...
