I like the idea of building a 79, you dont see many 79s anymore.

Honestly, I think names are lame. I know alot of people on here have names for their cars, which I have no problem with, though it seems like its a trendy thing to me. I'd say if it makes its own name so be it, but i'd aim for "that cool car."

There's a rotted 79 in my driveway. I wish it'd disappear, it has become a source of friction in my marriage.
Now that being said, I think you should call it the Disco 'Z' then you can be in the same situation I am in. In todays society, all citizens should be treated equally.
Names really are getting old, I blame the media like everyone else. Be different and just call it 'your car'

IHO...a nickname comes from the car. In frankenstangs situation "Friction" would be a good nickname. Sooner or later it will let you know, if it's supposed to have one.

I also think Project names are a little corny .. but I have given my two projects names, mostly following the crowd. I will say that they are helpful in a forum setting as one can easily associate a particular build. Its easier to remember "Bad Penny" then a "Nice 68 Camaro"; and as new post or variations threads occur I can better follow/identify them. The big builds also use it to help better associate the car long after a build is complete. Take the car above ... two years from now most currently in this forum will know exactly what "Bad Penny" is/was. As people walk away from SEMA many still recall a project name and the booth (a nice marketing outcome). However, as we know, it appears that in some cases if someone puts on new rims/tires they give it a project name. If it makes you feel good – name your project; just post a lot of pictures. As others have mentioned a name is best when it comes from a situation related to the car or the builder.

I recognize this one. Looks the same here as it did on Nasty!
I dont have a name for either of mine. I was going to call the Camaro Franken/Z but thought it sounded kinda gay. If I could think a decent one maybe it would stick, like a catchy license plate or something. 1320Z28 was the best I could come up with.
