I see their cars at a lot of the local shows here in the Twin Cities.  I'm pretty sure they're from Wisconsin.  Their cars always have amazing paint.

472 R/T SE

Looks like a sweet car.  I don't know what I like more, the wheels or the paint.  Was burgundy offered in '69?  I thought '68 was the last year?
I love that color and almost horse traded my blue car for cash & a '68 RR in that color.

Reminds me of Ross's Charger from way back when....      :yesnod:

That is one big guy.  He actually makes the Charger look small.
This car was sold many years ago to somebody in Wisconsin. I now am retired and living in Florida.

They're from Chippewa Falls. I remember seeing a segment on "My Classic Car" a few years ago on the white max wedge car they restored. I have had the link to their web site for a while now.

Here is another place I've been by several times in Port Washinton http://www.alohadreamcars.com/ They have a boat storage building that has more Mopars in it then you can count when you stand at on corner of the building, waiting for a restoration. The one day I was there with a co-worker, all you could see was all Cuda's & Challengers with a few Chargers scattered around. I've done a lot of asphalt paving in the industrial park they are in. And I live only a hour away.

As was mentioned, MCR, is just outside Chippewa Falls, Wi.  This Bad A$$ Charger is mine; and I'm not a member till tonight. One of gents at MCR forwarded me this site / link asking if I was a member. I haven't had time to check this site out; I'll try and get to that over the next week or so. MCR does do great work, I can say that first hand.

I'll pipe in with:
- color:  is stock PPG, Red Tapestry Pearl
- wheels:  are American Racing CL205s (torq thrust D) 18x11 rear & 17x8 frnt
  (I have a new pair of 17x11 I'm gonna post / sell, any interest?)
- I'm not sooo big.... rear leafs are ~ 1.75" lower than SS leafs, front AlterKtion ride height is not set yet
And
that sweater makes me look like I have my winter bear fat going on  .. :laugh:   oohh, maybe I do.

look forward to trying to plug in when I can

Regarding Aloha (and other WI shops), there is an interesting thread on moparts:

You look very familiar. Even the name is the same as who I think you are.


Let's see if I can ask the right questions to figure this out..

Still get to Vegas each year in Jan Feb timeframe? (I didn't see you there this year. Did last year though..)
Still doing wireless stuff?
Still "Love my job. Love my job. Love my job."  :rofl:

I love the stance. What size tires are on the front/rear? What did it take to get those wheels/tires to fit snug like that? mini-tub?

Great to have you on here Mike!!
Your car is sweet! I've been contemplating getting MCR to do my car when I'm ready to do it in a few years. Your car was one of the first ones I noticed on their website. I also spoke with Fred at the Nats regarding an estimate, and was really impressed with the cars that they had on display there. Apparantly they are also great to deal with.
Do you have any adice or feedback regarding getting a car done at a high end shop like that??

not that big...    My car has new XHD springs on it and the top edge of my door comes not even up to me belt line...       I would guess he is 6'2 or 6'3 maybe ?  I'm only 6'1   :shruggy:
