I came up with this one, Pandemic Plymouth. Pandemic in print with each letter going in a slightly different direction and Plymouth in script, like the old big quarter panel decals, under it.
What do think?
 
That's pretty cool. Viral Valiant is a goodun too.
 
Pandemic will probably be over used soon. It already is on the news. People are also naming their babies after different versions of Coronavirus
 
I'm a big fan of naming the car I think it's really cool and old school..
Unfortunately the word pandemic right now seems to be synonymous with thousands of innocent lives lost... My-2..
 
I see what you are going after. I have plans to name this one "Used Parts".
It is done in the Roadkill, Rat Rod,old school gasser type.Hope to do the "Zip Tie Drags"in November. I think I have only 3 new parts on this car.Everything is left over parts from different projects over the years.Old school Gasser carb scoop is in the works next.It was a parts car that I just couldn't let go to waste.

I used to work in the Printing game back in the 80's, it was all Hot Metal printing then, so........I thought the name suited a race car well. Shame I didn't patent/register the name as mine as Vauxhall/opel shortly came out with that same name as marketing for 1 of their hot hatch models.....would've been in the money.

We have a pulling tractor by me called hemiroid. Has multiple gen 2 hemis. I tried looking up a picture... didn’t get what I was after. Haha. I always joke and say my race car name is Taylor Shift
 
If I ever get a track car after retiring to Alabama it's gonna be the jumbled block letters as on the 60's drag cars. The 68 B body will be the "Georgia Satellite." Otherwise it will be named the "Alabama Getaway."

My car has always been "The Scrapper"..
It had and still has some parts I picked up free from my scrap metal days...
(Son driving)...
 
Mine is "The Old Goat" nicknamed after the affectionate term for the Navy Chief's Mess. Once I get the botched paint job corrected (it's in the works) I'll letter the car accordingly.
 
Not to be a smart azz but those tires need more air.
Oh it was totally to be a smart-***! LOL..
the picture was supposed to be a reference to the letters on the side of the car but that was about a four-year-old picture at Woodburn.. I sold those slicks and skinnies and rims last year at the Swap Meet... I bought a set of police rims and perfect bullet hole hubcaps.. some new Walmart tires up front and some nitto 555 in the back..
I'm sure you didn't happen to notice my son's 11.75 dial in.. in the unmerciful heat of the day we kept having to back the dial off... We like running comfortable and not all out as it gave us room at the end if we needed it...
 
This was my 340 Cuda before it became named Hot Metal>
