What about the name Project Blue Baron (the opposite of the Red Baron a WWI fighter airplane flown by Manfred Albrecht von Richthofen)?

Is this what people mean when cars shouldn't have a name unless it means something? I can appreciate it but I'm not sure it will roll of the tounge at Sema or a local car show.

Tell me you just didn't say that..

And if you think about our hobby the name makes perfect sense.. sadly..

By hey.. "Fat Bastard" is a bit more family friendly.. so they have options.

Want me to name your car???

Here is some updates for this week.. Customer wanted to run a booster on the car.. so we got one from DSE but did not like the way they angle up.. so we changed it a bit.. modified the firewall & pedal base to sit mounted on firewall.. wait till you see what I am doing for clutch Master cylinder.. DWG it up to get it machined this week.. Trying to use as many OE components..






Got the car on the jig! Starting the fender stretch this week..
