Name for 55 with 409

[jim_ss409]

I think I might have a name for the 55. Here's a rough drawing.

[jim_ss409]

Opps, The first picture was suposed to say "409 POWERED" on the front fender.
Does anybody get the "Frankly Scarlett" reference? :dunno It's from a famous line in the movie... "Frankly Scarlett I don't give a damn"

The trunk is clever. I think I like it:clap NUT
No you didn't need to elaborate on the trunk, I was saying the line before I ever opened the second pic. :D
by the way, those are pretty neat "rough drawings" !:cool: You must be the multi-gifted type.

The drawings look good!

I was thinking you should add "I don't give a #$%^" to the "Frankly Scarlett" part, but then you could also include some renderings of the eight Oscars the movie won :).

Great start!

Jim...Paint her green and call her "Double Nickle P1ckle" :brow AND................(Wait for it).....Put "Pucker Up Sucker" on the trunk! :eek: Really, what you have sounds great!:clap

I'm leaving to go visit family over the Christmas holidays so I can't work on the car for a while.:cry But I'm hoping to get back at it in the new year... Gotta be ready for the mini convention in the spring.:beerbang Here's a couple of photos I took last night showing the firewall cut out. The dash will be going back in. It was just tacked in place so it was easier to remove it altogether to work on the firewall. We're going to extend the back of the hood to cover the cut out spot. By the way the firewall had been almost completely cut out of this car before so we're just puting it back the way it was only stronger.

I commend your craftsmenship!:clap That rounded edge looks great! and I just figured that dirty old engine was a truck block or something for mock-up purposes, but I see it's the Real Deal:deal Keep up the good work:) NUT

p.s. the other Jim, I do think the pickle idea is a good one too:D

[jim_ss409]

Yes that's a basicly stock 63 425hp engine. It looks good inside so I think we're going to borrow the stroker motor from the Impala for the 55 and clean up this engine and put it in the Impala for now.

I'll share the name "Stone Age Rat" with you. I always liked the name "Prehistoric Rat" and wanted to name the 60 with that moniker, but the name was already out there. You could name the 55 "Rat *******" but would have to rate it "R". You could have your Co. name on the side with racing after. How about the "Maple Leaf Mauler" or "Canadian Express"? :scratch
