Name the Barracuda Project !!
 
I'm just a posting fool today :)

Okay... so in conforming to the lastest trend, I need/want to come up with a name for my '70 Barracuda project. I'm hoping it will help me stay motivated..

So any idea ????.... Sick Fish is taken :)

TravisB 12-13-2005 02:20 PM

troy had another one for the cuda I remember it from the rides show I will think of it in a minute!

rwhite692 12-13-2005 02:28 PM

How about Cudalicious? :lol:

Derek69SS 12-13-2005 02:44 PM

Got a color in mind?

DRJDVM's '69 12-13-2005 03:05 PM

Not sure on the color yet... thinking a two tone with silver bottom half and either a purple or maroon top section. subtle graphics between..

But you know how color choices go.... that may change a million times before its done...

Speedster 12-13-2005 03:52 PM

BarrettCuda

Since you never know when you might sell it auction...

tndude 12-13-2005 07:18 PM

Nedsacuda :lol:

TravisB 12-14-2005 07:40 AM

well it's been a minute i still haven't thought of it......it was much better than sick fish.

Troy's new one is Blow fish........I thought that one was very cool.

How bout "SilverPhish" or "Slickphish" :unibrow:

Steve Chryssos 12-14-2005 09:54 AM

Missed opportunity: "Shoulda, Woulda, Cuda"
Chevy fan: "Cuda Had a Camaro"
New Hemi based: "cuda SRT8"
Neon 4 banger powered: "The guppy"
Nuclear powered: "Glowfish"
Methane powered: "Stinkfish"

RussMS 12-14-2005 10:08 AM

Or put a paddle shifter in it and call it "Twisted Phish." :D

On the flip side of that..I was thinking about putting a Hemi in the 55 & call it "Hemolet"

jy211 12-14-2005 01:18 PM

Slick Phish?

Steve Chryssos 12-14-2005 01:22 PM

Or upholster it with brown burlap and call it "the Monkfish". The powertrain would need to be something austere and very very quiet (shhh!)

4OfaKind 12-14-2005 02:11 PM

call it "Fugu" the Japanese name for Puffer Fish sushi. :faint:

Mal

Steve Chryssos 12-14-2005 02:39 PM

Maybe if you post intended style, specs and personality of the finished car, we can be of more help.

Hooligan 12-14-2005 04:01 PM

Just call it Sushi

Ummgawa 12-14-2005 04:21 PM

Fuguppy.

DRJDVM's '69 12-14-2005 07:42 PM

The overall style is gonna be mostly "typical" Pro-touring..... I'm planning on either air bag (not convinced on the whole handling performance, they're claiming now, but would love to be able to slam it to the ground and still be able to drive it on the street) or coil over... want it to be low and mean... 18's front 19's rear (looking for big, but not over powering big).... big brakes......shaved door handles and side markers.... AAR hood and rear spoiler.... probably two tone paint (not sure on colors) with some mild graphics inbetween.....motor=would love to go Hemi, but may go 440 (supercharge or turbo is a must, one way or another :))

Obviously the project is bran new and my ideas will evolve as time goes on a $$ dictates...... dont want to use any names with colors etc just in case that changes......

I like Twisted Fish...... my wife wants this car to be an automatic so she feels more comfortable driving it. I'm partial to manual cars, but you know how that goes.....

Blow Fish would have been cool since I want to supercharge it.....

Cudamaro :)
RazorFish
QuickStrike

Maybe I'll research the real barracuda fish and see if anything stands out....

lil427z 12-14-2005 08:13 PM

call toxfish that would be a good name . :captain:
rick kirkindall :thumbsup:

Derek69SS 12-14-2005 08:33 PM

Just looking for ideas, I thought I'd see if anything stands out here:

Quote:

Artist: Heart
Song: Barracuda


So this ain't the end -
I saw you again today
Had to turn my heart away
You smiled like the Sun -
Kisses for everyone
And tales - it never fails!

You lying so low in the weeds :thumbsup:
Bet you gonna ambush me
You'd have me down on my knees
Wouldn't you, Barracuda?

Back over Time when we were all
Trying for free
Met up with porpoise and me
No right no wrong your selling a Song-
A name whisper game.

If the real thing don't do the trick
You better make up something quick
You gonna burn it out to the wick
Aren't you, Barracuda?

"Sell me sell you" the porpoise said
Dive down deep to save my head
You...I think you got the blues too.

All that night and all the next
Swam without looking back
Made for the western pools - silly fools!
Nothing stood out, but the "lying low in the weeds" part seemed ironic after reading you were thinking about air-ride :D

ArisESQ 12-15-2005 11:54 AM

i know that the barracuda is supposed to be the "tiger of the sea"... so maybe you can run with that.

and maybe if you wanna go with something non-cuda related, you could go with "torpedo"... just cuz its a water based missile... i dunno. just an idea.

MaxHarvard 12-15-2005 12:52 PM

Sea Cow :D

Vache De Mer (french for sea cow) ;)

Hmmm... missle... like a Scud missle.

Or you could be like me and have A LOT of names for my car, but depending how it's going, quite a few of those aren't appropriate to post. :lol:

hah. yea i have a few of those names myself. "goddamn jalopy" comes to mind. :P

rwhite692 12-15-2005 09:51 PM

How about...(and this is really bucking the trend)

"The Barracuda".

It's name is already cool. :thumbsup:

almcbri 12-19-2005 10:45 AM

Ned,

good to hear you finally got a cuda. Sorry on the delayed reply on the other car. I have been out of town for over 2 weeks. Look forward to hearing progress on this car. I imagine it will be one great car after seeing your detailed work on the Camaro.

AAW 12-19-2005 11:57 AM

how about Nebula.

It means "a cloud of dust"...

DRJDVM's '69 12-19-2005 01:30 PM

Exile

Hooked

SlamPhish

LowPhish

ProPhish.....Pro-T-Phish..

I dont know........

Maybe this name thing is a waste of time.......

That's the same conclusion I came to when I tried naming my car :lol:

XcYZ 12-19-2005 05:15 PM

I could never think of any (good) names for mine either. Names like Chicayne and the Mule were already taken. :D

Steve Chryssos 12-19-2005 05:22 PM

I like Slamfish.

How bout Slammacuda?

XcYZ 12-19-2005 05:24 PM

Since it's going to be in the weeds, how about Catfish?

race-rodz 12-19-2005 06:01 PM

im not really all for car names, but it does come in handy for personalized tags, in oregon we can have 6 letters and a hyphen(sp) so was thinkin the obvious "RCE-RDZ" or "WNA RCE"... but if all else fails..."SHT BOX" or "FCK HED" will work too :D

maybe i should just stick with the original plan of finding a vintage '34 oregon plate
