Name the Barracuda Project !!

[DRJDVM's '69]

I'm just a posting fool today :)

Okay... so in conforming to the lastest trend, I need/want to come up with a name for my '70 Barracuda project. I'm hoping it will help me stay motivated..

So any idea ????.... Sick Fish is taken :)

[TravisB]

troy had another one for the cuda I remember it from the rides show I will think of it in a minute!

[rwhite692]

How about Cudalicious? :lol:

[Derek69SS]

Got a color in mind?

[DRJDVM's '69]

Not sure on the color yet... thinking a two tone with silver bottom half and either a purple or maroon top section. subtle graphics between..

But you know how color choices go.... that may change a million times before its done...

[Speedster]

BarrettCuda

Since you never know when you might sell it auction...

[tndude]

Nedsacuda :lol:

[TravisB]

well it's been a minute i still haven't thought of it......it was much better than sick fish.

Troy's new one is Blow fish........I thought that one was very cool.

[hotwheels]

Nedsacuda lol........... :rofl:

[Smack_talker]

How bout "SilverPhish" or "Slickphish" :unibrow:

[Steve Chryssos]

Missed opportunity: "Shoulda, Woulda, Cuda"
Chevy fan: "Cuda Had a Camaro"
New Hemi based: "cuda SRT8"
Neon 4 banger powered: "The guppy"
Nuclear powered: "Glowfish"
Methane powered: "Stinkfish"

[RussMS]

Or put a paddle shifter in it and call it "Twisted Phish." :D

[Smack_talker]

Or put a paddle shifter in it and call it "Twisted Phish." :D

Or if your a 80's hairband fan it could be "Twisted Phishster" :lol:

[Autokraft]

Or if your a 80's hairband fan it could be "Twisted Phishster" :lol:


LOL!!! That was a good one!! We listen to ol' Dee Snyder every saturday morning from 8-10am for 80's metal. It pretty cool. :hail:

[69MyWay]

Put a chevy engine in it and call it

Bowtie-Kuda

[Ricochet]

Put a chevy engine in it and call it

Bowtie-Kuda

On the flip side of that..I was thinking about putting a Hemi in the 55 & call it "Hemolet"

[jy211]

Slick Phish?

[Steve Chryssos]

Or upholster it with brown burlap and call it "the Monkfish". The powertrain would need to be something austere and very very quiet (shhh!)

[4OfaKind]

call it "Fugu" the Japanese name for Puffer Fish sushi. :faint:

Mal

[Steve Chryssos]

Maybe if you post intended style, specs and personality of the finished car, we can be of more help.

[Hooligan]

Just call it Sushi

[Ummgawa]

Fuguppy.

[DRJDVM's '69]

The overall style is gonna be mostly "typical" Pro-touring..... I'm planning on either air bag (not convinced on the whole handling performance, they're claiming now, but would love to be able to slam it to the ground and still be able to drive it on the street) or coil over... want it to be low and mean... 18's front 19's rear (looking for big, but not over powering big).... big brakes......shaved door handles and side markers.... AAR hood and rear spoiler.... probably two tone paint (not sure on colors) with some mild graphics inbetween.....motor=would love to go Hemi, but may go 440 (supercharge or turbo is a must, one way or another :))

Obviously the project is bran new and my ideas will evolve as time goes on a $$ dictates...... dont want to use any names with colors etc just in case that changes......

I like Twisted Fish...... my wife wants this car to be an automatic so she feels more comfortable driving it. I'm partial to manual cars, but you know how that goes.....

Blow Fish would have been cool since I want to supercharge it.....

Cudamaro :)
RazorFish
QuickStrike

Maybe I'll research the real barracuda fish and see if anything stands out....

[lil427z]

call toxfish that would be a good name . :captain:
rick kirkindall :thumbsup:

[Derek69SS]

Just looking for ideas, I thought I'd see if anything stands out here:

Artist: Heart
Song: Barracuda

So this ain't the end -
I saw you again today
Had to turn my heart away
You smiled like the Sun -
Kisses for everyone
And tales - it never fails!

You lying so low in the weeds :thumbsup:
Bet you gonna ambush me
You'd have me down on my knees
Wouldn't you, Barracuda?

Back over Time when we were all
Trying for free
Met up with porpoise and me
No right no wrong your selling a Song-
A name whisper game.

If the real thing don't do the trick
You better make up something quick
You gonna burn it out to the wick
Aren't you, Barracuda?

"Sell me sell you" the porpoise said
Dive down deep to save my head
You...I think you got the blues too.

All that night and all the next
Swam without looking back
Made for the western pools - silly fools!

Nothing stood out, but the "lying low in the weeds" part seemed ironic after reading you were thinking about air-ride :D

[Kendall Burleson]

Dafish :rofl:

[Kendall Burleson]

Dafish :rofl:

[ArisESQ]

i know that the barracuda is supposed to be the "tiger of the sea"... so maybe you can run with that.

and maybe if you wanna go with something non-cuda related, you could go with "torpedo"... just cuz its a water based missile... i dunno. just an idea.

[MaxHarvard]

Sea Cow :D

Vache De Mer (french for sea cow) ;)

[XcYZ]

you could go with "torpedo"... just cuz its a water based missile...

Hmmm... missle... like a Scud missle.

Or you could be like me and have A LOT of names for my car, but depending how it's going, quite a few of those aren't appropriate to post. :lol:

[ArisESQ]

hah. yea i have a few of those names myself. "goddamn jalopy" comes to mind. :P

[rwhite692]

How about...(and this is really bucking the trend)

"The Barracuda".

It's name is already cool. :thumbsup:

[almcbri]

Ned,

good to hear you finally got a cuda. Sorry on the delayed reply on the other car. I have been out of town for over 2 weeks. Look forward to hearing progress on this car. I imagine it will be one great car after seeing your detailed work on the Camaro.

[AAW]

how about Nebula.

It means "a cloud of dust"...

[DRJDVM's '69]

Exile

Hooked

SlamPhish

LowPhish

ProPhish.....Pro-T-Phish..

I dont know........

Maybe this name thing is a waste of time.......

[Derek69SS]

Maybe this name thing is a waste of time.......
That's the same conclusion I came to when I tried naming my car :lol:

[XcYZ]

I could never think of any (good) names for mine either. Names like Chicayne and the Mule were already taken. :D

[Steve Chryssos]

I like Slamfish.

How bout Slammacuda?

[XcYZ]

Since it's going to be in the weeds, how about Catfish?

[race-rodz]

im not really all for car names, but it does come in handy for personalized tags, in oregon we can have 6 letters and a hyphen(sp) so was thinkin the obvious "RCE-RDZ" or "WNA RCE"... but if all else fails..."SHT BOX" or "FCK HED" will work too :D

maybe i should just stick with the original plan of finding a vintage '34 oregon plate

[DRJDVM's '69]

Hemisphere...

I plan on a Hemi motor, but $$ may preclude it...

[Derek69SS]

I could never think of any (good) names for mine either.What about the "Velvet Sledgehammer" :rofl: :P

[Ummgawa]

Gilldough?

Fish reference and money reference. :P

[Steve Chryssos]

How bout Carrabuda? That's barracuda after you've had one too many pints :cheers:

[J2SpeedandCustom]

Hemisphere...

I plan on a Hemi motor, but $$ may preclude it...


I like that one. The only one I got is "Stalker". Since the baracuda is a hunter.

[rwhite692]

How about

"HEMISFEAR"

[Smack_talker]

nice one!

[J2SpeedandCustom]

How about

"HEMISFEAR"

ditto

[4OfaKind]

How about

"HEMISFEAR"

:yes: :clap:


Mal

[TravisB]

I like hemisfear as well

[rwhite692]

Ned, I think HEMISFEAR works wether you do a HEMI, or not...

If you do a HEMI, then great, the message is "Hey be fearful of this HEMI", etc...

if you do something non-HEMI, say, a gonzo, turbo'd 440, then the message is

"Be fearful of THIS, all you HEMI guys!" (HEMI'S FEAR)

:)

[Dezduster]

Twisty fish

[Mean 69]

Just saw a chick at the local Starbucks with an armband tattoo. Couldn't think about how dated these things are, so I would personally stay away from anything with "phish" in the name. Plus, anything you do on the "fish" name theme will look like a copy of the Sick Fish. Cuda's (real ones) have sharp teeth, are super sleek and swin fast, and are predatory. Vicious little buggers, they strike fear as soon as you see them. Do they travel in schools? I think they do?

Tough one, some pretty clever ideas posted though!

I decided on something really simple for the Satellite project, it will be a GTX clone, with a 500" wedge motor: GTX 500. No one ever accused me of being good with this sort of stuff, clearly!

Ok then, you said it....Cudavicious. ;)

[rwhite692]

If you name it Kryptonite...Then It's gotta be painted a wild Green.

[DRJDVM's '69]

Ok.. I'm back to the name game.... John McBride is going to do a rendering for me, so now I want to name it again...

Plan is still slammed and the motor will be a FI 5.7/6.1 modern HEMI. Still undecided on a color.

Blowfish and Hemisfear are taken..... damn Chip and Troy !!!!

Cudalicious

Vengence

Plasma

Cudattude

I killed Nemo's mom... :)

[BRIAN]

How about "Barracuda Project"?? Sorry couldn't resist.

[kennyd]

" fear fish " thats what troy's first choice was on rogan's sick fish

[Hdesign]

Devilfish

Shark bait

[Croaker]

"Not a First Gen Camaro"

Could it be just ..... Project 70 Barracuda ?? Plain and simple:thumbsup:

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

Cruel Cuda

Slayer

Cudattack

Contract-Cuda

the Rival

Cudisaster

Barra-snyper

Cut-throat Cuda

Barra-cruelty

Cudassasin


thats all i can think of...

[Diognes56]

How about Cimolichtys.

Cimolichtys (sim-o-lick-tees) is in a close race with Gillicus for the most common fish found in the Kansas chalk. It is represented by several species, each having multiple jaws containing numerous rows of various-sized sharp teeth. Cimolichtys resembles a modern barracuda and was a fierce predator of smaller fishes.

[deuce_454]

imho it is hard to top mopars name for the car "baracuda" but what do you want to say with the new name??

a car called : "predator, kill-fish, testosterone, or whatever" sounds cool but is that why you want the name?? to sound cool... im my view that kind of names are better suited for a tractorpuller or monstertruck

names like bottomdweller might not sound as cool but have a justification on lowered cuda... as does names like fugu/blowfish on a supercharged one..

even better is a name that has a personal or a double meaning.. but without knowing you it is hard...

rightnow it seems like project "no-name" would be a winner

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

man why do you guys ALWAYS come out of the woodwork when its a name thread..

dude asked for a name.. i gave a few.

not.. hey man call it CAR.

if thats the case why is your screenname deuce 454?

why isnt it whatever your real name is or.. MAN.

you take names because you like them.. he likes them.. some folks in the scene like them.. thats it.

besides technically a fully custom ride isnt what it was when it rolled out of the factory.. so.. "whatever" doesnt fully apply does it?

[asaenz]

Forget about using any form of the factory name (make, model) and just give it a name that means something to you.

I did a blue Nova digital art chop and named the car "Blue Boy" :thumbsup:
You could name it after a super hero :) or Greek god.

I did a blue GTX and called it Odin

Just my 2 cents

[tyoneal]

I got you name,

"Cudastayedslow"

What do you think?

Ty

[deuce_454]

WOW!
if thats the case why is your screenname deuce 454?

well guess what engine is in my 32 Hiboy? you figure it out....

and what do you mean by "you guys" and woodwork.. ??

besides i think you misunderstood me...(perhaps its because english isnt my native tounge), my question was actually deeper than "dude why you wanna name a car that allready has one?" i wanted to know somthing about what the car meant to him, while airing my oppinion on calling a car somthing just for cool´s sake....

i think asaenz put it in a way that didnt trigger you in the same way..

and while i thank you for your short explanation of the reasons for naming a car, you could, if you checked the woodwork of my previous threads see that i also named my project...

and allow me just one smart ass reply that i just couldnt help but make since you brought up the subject of screen name choice... " i guess you just demonstrated why you chose to call yourself: Venomous Type":unibrow:

(just to be on the safe side id better put it in writing sooner rather than later that no insult was intended, just needed to blow off alittle steam as did you apparrantly...)

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

whatever..

Dont take it the wrong way.. im not trying to make a fuss about naming, but the man asked for suggestions.. thats it.

not.. hey man.. call it no name..:rolleyes:

BTW..

My car was named after this guy..
http://www.iwatchstuff.com/2006/11/07/venom-spiderman.jpg

because of the similarities and feeling i wanted to achieve with the cars look.. which i feel like i achieved.

so in that sense its what youre talking about..

either way.. no hard feelings partner.:cheers:

[deuce_454]

yeah, no hard feelings... guess i had a really bad day yesterday, reading my reply today it is a little rude.. so once again, no ofence intended:cheers:

[Jimmy Sean]

I had a vendor come into our office and we started talking cars. He said he had a Bacaruda. Took me a few to figure out what he meant but ever since it stuck like glue with me. So every time I see Barracuda I think Bacaruda:D .
