Ok guys. I'm at a bit of a loss here.


I need a name for my new build. I like my project names to reflect either the direction of the spirit of the build or the subject of the build.

Here is what I have so far:



A white and blue two-tone Bronco II.

Most of the work, at least initially will be body restoration. Not much rust, but lots of dings and dents, and three corners are pushed in good. Enough that none of the marker lights hang quite right and the lift gate is hard to get open.


The non-body work will mostly involve upgrading from the weaker versions of components (lose the auto hubs and repezza rear shaft, etc). I have a Ranger 8.8 with the right gears (needing swapped from my Expo axle) for the back, probably leave the D-28 for now.



Now, the wife will be doing a lot more work on this one than on Hillbilly Deluxe as this will be her winter beater for a while, and then ultimately my haul the kids around car when we have them.

I want to keep away from names involving color since we haven't decided if we are keeping the white-blue two-tone.

She is suggesting "Dirty Girl" since she will be helping so much. I was originally going to call it "Little Big Time" because the original plan was to bob a 3/4 ton frame and throw the body on that. Not doing that anymore.


So what are your ideas guys?

I cant think of a specific name that fits, but I'd suggest something with a "plastic surgery"/"nip-tuck" type theme since you are, in a sense, revitilizing it with an EB face and such (if you choose to do that in the end).

Maybe to go along with the theme of Hillbilly Deluxe, how about Redneck Supreme?

Using a top secret algorithm I developed to name projects, this project should be named: "Wife Beater".

Uh-oh, maybe I need to make a few tweaks to my algorithm.

How about project "Dent-B-Gone". Or "Operation Family Guy"

the grocery store cart is always doing the dinging - why not one that gets dinged.

Well it won't be much of a grocery getter.

On an unrelated note, I did run over a bunch of carts at the store today.

This may take a while

I'm starting to think that maybe "Amazing Grace" may be a good name for this, since I'm sure the truck's alternative fate would have been a short stint at an impound lot then the junk yard, if not straight to the crusher.
