    Think I'll christen her "Rootie Tootie" sometime this summer, after I decide where (probably on the left lower deck lid corner) and what type of lettering to use.

    I put "Bad Luck" on the decklid the day I got her. Just one of my favorite songs. But the couple of times that I have had car troubles in public I get all kinds of **** about the name, AND some guy at a show this summer had it on his car too and we were parked 2 cars away from each other. It will be coming off this spring.

    The 55 Fairlane is called "Money Bucket" because it's like having a bucket that I put all my money into !

    I'll let you know when I get my car. But she will be named. It's bad luck not too.

    Blue Bomber, a name given to her by a friends wife the day I got her. Mostly I reserve explicit names since she's still a hot mess.

    I named my 1st 4 door ******, which is pretty much Spanish for young pros***ute, cuz she was always taking my money. Now that I got rid of that one and got a 2 door, which I call her big sister, the 2 door is now named Lola. Still the same concept as taking my money. lol

    maybe you should think nautical, because ive heard boats are just holes in water you throw money into.

    dwaynerz , I have had a few boats and I have a 16.5' boat now, but I really never had that problem with dumping money into one like I have with my 55 Fairlane ! Actually my wife gave the car it's name and I really like it ! When the car is painted , on the trunk , my wife is going to paint a guy dumping money into a bucket with the name "Money Bucket" !
    I am also going to build a 50 Ford g***er hopefully starting next winter and will be called "Loose Change" or possibly another "Money Bucket II" . It's going to be a fun car and build no matter what it's called ! Going to be built like a g***er you would have seen on the drag tracks back in the early 70's . Will have a 1970 Ford 429CJ and 4 speed toploader close ratio with a 4.88 rear . Pure Old Skool all the way ! Picking up a Mustang 9" rear this Sunday before the race for the 50 g***er .
