Reeves Racing Posted March 20, 2011 Posted March 20, 2011 I saw Ben's post about graphics so I thought I would do the same. My dad and I race nostalgia type super stocks. He has a 63 Chevy Biscayne named "Bis-Quick" Like the pancake mix... We are close to finishing my 65 Comet two door post (not a Caliente) and I need a name... It is going to be a white car like his, (I recently did a model of his car) You guys have some of the best imaginations I know of, so give me a winner.
1320wayne Posted March 20, 2011 Posted March 20, 2011 What color is the car? That might help with the creativity. Also, below is a link to a list of periodic comets (scientific) if you want a name that plays on the Comet nameplate. Scroll through the list and maybe you will see something creative that strikes interest. Bear in mind, the list is quite long. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_periodic_comets
Reeves Racing Posted March 20, 2011 Author Posted March 20, 2011 The car is going to be Wimbledon white with some red trim around the side glass and "ReevesRacing" on the top rear quarters like my dad's car. Here is a picture I took last fall. The chassis is done (tubs, ladder bar rear, narrowed 9 inch, cage and sub frame connectors) The engine is in and the transmission is going in next week. Once it runs and and can move on its own power we are going to do the body work (rear quater patches) and paint it. I have a friend who does vinyl graphics. He did the graphics for dad's car and is going to do mine. Ben, you have come up with some good ones, thanks a bunch bro! Keep 'em coming!
Keef Posted March 20, 2011 Posted March 20, 2011 too bad your not painting it an awful shade of green then you could call it the "Vomit Comet" lmao nice looking Comet btw im not sure on a name for it though
futurattraction Posted March 21, 2011 Posted March 21, 2011 How about Comet-ose (comatose), w/ or w/out the hyphen...
W117monte Posted March 21, 2011 Posted March 21, 2011 If i had my car lettered, i would call it "fast worker". I saw a B-17 in a book named that.
Reeves Racing Posted March 21, 2011 Author Posted March 21, 2011 Those are some good ones, thanks guys. My son came up with Comet-kaze in a font that looks like Japanese lettering. I named my dads car, and we knew it was right as soon as we found it on line. Nothing has struck me yet for mine. I was a auto tech for 18 years so I thought about "The Mechanic" like a hit man. Keep 'em coming.
brett Posted March 21, 2011 Posted March 21, 2011 why not simple like seeveeR's Comet or just Reevees Comet ?, most comets are named aftrer those who discovered them why not after those who built one ?

Iron Fist Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 (edited) Cometted Mania - has a duel meaning, your obsessed with racing and you're a little bit nuts. (and the word play thing) Edited March 22, 2011 by Iron Fist
paul alflen Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 PUT THE DRIVERS NAME ON THE ROOF AS "BONZAI BOB" ALSO
Starliner Kustoms Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 Sunday Comet (Sunday Comics) ..... or Put Comet above the door as a name and write Santa's first choice on the door.... or Sky Rocket
gasser59 Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 (edited) How's about the Comatose Comet? I had an inspiration while enjoying my second cup of java this morning. As a former typography instructor, I enjoy these kind of challenges. What'd ya think? Edited March 23, 2011 by gasser59
