How about "Thunderous".....or maybe "Chevy Destroyer" Very Happy

Call it “trigger happy” and have him air brush the front to look like a bullet in flight. With that pinched nose it should flow nicely with the body lines.

Thunder

QKiss December 4th 2019, 10:33 pm

I mentioned the name Chevy Destroyer to one of my Chevy buddies and he just didn't see the humor in it --- must have hit a nerve ha ha. Smile

Some good ideas guys I am looking for a name as a Thunderbolt tribute type name. Years back there was a FE Galaxie lightweight in our area with the name Old Thunder. The idea around the name lightningbolt is that thunder is the aftermath of the high energy lightning event.

I've been following your build since you started posting over at the ghost town and I have to say it again, outstanding craftsmanship and attention to detail. With that said, I think your buddy hit it on the head with Lightening Bolt, or just Thunder. Can't wait to see the car finished

QKiss December 5th 2019, 2:49 am

If you guys would like to see some of Jeffs work and get an idea of his talent ether google or Facebook Jeffs Graphics Twin Falls Id and scroll through some of his work. Cool

I'm sorry as I'm pretty sure it's been covered, is the tin the same color as the cage, the tin looks lighter but it could also be how much more light it grabs than round tube

QKiss December 5th 2019, 10:51 pm

You are seeing it correctly. The cage is painted a dark Mercedes Bronze metallic and the aluminum tin work is anodized a medium bronze and the anodizing picks up the light differently than paint also. And there is the flat panel vs round tube deal also.

How about Thunder Lane for a name?

Wayne Pearce December 6th 2019, 10:21 am

I like "Bolt out of the blue".

Sooooo……..did you build Jeff's dragster 20 some years ago?

QKiss December 6th 2019, 11:03 pm

You guys have come up with some clever name ideas. I like your line of thought Smile

Bill;
Yes I am guilty. As a matter of fact we built 2 -- 4 link dragsters. One with the coil overs in front of the axle housing painted red and the other with the coil overs behind the axle housing and that one was the green car.

Amazing detail ---- Check it out against a picture of a stock grill.

Check out the suttle letter shadowing and don't over look the pin stripping.

Free hand pin stripping anyone.

TravisRice December 21st 2019, 9:06 am

Do when do you anticipate making its debut?

Wayne Pearce December 21st 2019, 10:55 am

OH - WOW! Simply stunning, I can't get enough of this project, I can't wait to see MORE!

Goldylox_fairlane December 21st 2019, 1:55 pm

Looks awesome!
Should be much more slippery than the original "brick facing"
I like the aluminum lower valence....and everything else..
Looking forward to see this fire up

I’ve figured something out QKiss, you’re like the hot 20 something bartender in a way to short mini skirt. You “bend over” and tease us with a couple of images then you disappear to the other end of the bar. From all of us here on the interwebs STOP IT!!!!

But seriously, outstanding work and a beautiful finished product . I would be honored to have a car built by you.

BBFTorino December 24th 2019, 2:22 am

QKiss said that I can make the first 6 second passes in the car once it's all ready for me!! Very Happy
