Default Name My Car



I need help. Starting to collect parts for my 70 Chevelle build. Supporting vendors have asked for the name of the project, but it's an orphan at this time. I'm hoping you guys can come up with some ideas.

This car has been decades in the making, going all the way back to high school in the early 70's. A friend of the family had ordered a 71 El Camino SS brand new with an optional custom color from Chevy. This was back in the day when you could do this. The color was a Cadillac special order called Nutmeg Firemist metallic. He went out of town for a couple weeks and left the car with me to drive. Cowl hood with black stripes, Cragar mags, black tonneau cover, I was in heaven. I've never forgotten that car and the rare color combo, and always wanted to do one for myself. I've attached a pic below of the color on a Yenko Nova.



My goal is a comfortable fast driver. This car will spend 99%+ of it's time on the street. The chassis from Roadster Shop is designed to make the car truly comfortable and enjoyable to drive, especially long distances. Obviously handling matters, but I'm looking for a true driver type ride. Something you could drive all the time like it was your only vehicle.

Any ideas?

"NutFire"

Cinder or Ember? … as in an old flame that never went out?

Rootbeer = A&W or Barq's?

Amber? … like a beer color

Yenko/JODY or Camco/JODY
