I see. Either way bro. it looks GREAT, I am jealous in every way. Great build. That interior is awesome!!

Default Name?

I was just thinking about what to name the car. Ever since i started it everyone, myself included, just referred to it as "the GTO". which was ok, because no one else in the area had one. Now that it's done i wanted to give it a proper name.

IDEAS:

The first three reference the fact that I started this car in school with my teacher.

Thesis (My personal favorite)

Final Exam

Schools Out


Stimulus (The car is owned by a local bank president)

Let me know what you guys think. I am also looking for some suggestions.

Since GTO's are called GOATS -- And it was a teacher / student project -- how about:

SkoolPet

PetGoat

GrdAGTO

FINALGRD

Personally I liked Thesis - but would add "MY" as in MYTHESIS

Nice project!! Way to go!

I agree with Greg, MYTHESIS does sound good and is fitting. My.02 for the day. Very nice work and it does not need a name to stand on it's own.

Default Well.....

After about a week of thinking about it, I have changed my mind and am going to go with my first choice and just call it Thesis. it's just simpler and i think that it sounds better.

tukes --

Your build - your car - you get to name it anything that turns your crank!

My brother in law used to run a license plate - ATTHEY -- short for his perverted little pea brain "at the y" -- but -- this is the funny part - there was a STREET SWEEPER company in Portland that's name was ATTHEY pronounced AT THE HAY... and everybody just figured he must work there.... LOL.

I'm building a 37 Ford Minotti - going old skool with the "looks" (exterior) with a LS6 from a 2002 ZO6 - and am thinking of "NEWNBOLD" but that can be read a few different ways.... so maybe NU N OLD or something on that line.
