DEEPNHOCK's 1953 Drag Car ... "The Black Car"

[DEEPNHOCK]

It needs a better 'Drag Racer Name'.....
A slow 'work in progress' project.
Converting it from a BBC to a Novi blown Stude V8.
Stude Power!

Mabe....... SUPERSTUDE.....after all, it should be super fast....just a thought.

[Flashback]

I like that car. I did the first time I saw it and still do. I can always say: I helped load it on the trailor. So maybe I could cheat a little and say I was once part of the pit crew. Wait til I get "The Saturday Night Special" back goin'. I may come lookin' forya. (humor) Kinda makes me proud to own a black 53. LOL LOL

[j.byrd]

"Darth Baker" ?? .........This car's gorgeous

[Flashback]

"The Reverend Mr Black"

[DEEPNHOCK]

With your boys as the pit crew... We didn't need ramps to load it up
They could have just picked it up and tossed it on the trailer

"Black Mamba"

"The midnight menace"

Just a few that popped in my head.

"Black POS" would be too easy.

[DEEPNHOCK]

But, Strangely... It's tops on my list!

[CarCrosswordDan]

deepnhock, ever considered "Stud-Baker"? Dan

[Marie Mac]

Navy?...how about the Blue Boss?

[Flashback]

I had a Harley named "The Revered Mr Black" and one named "The Silver Lady" The Reverend was always beating down the bad boys, but, The lady was always gettin hit on. Sooo That boy dog needs a name like "THE REVEREND MR BLACK"

[shifter4]

Reverend Mr Black is a well known Mopar in the Deep South.
I saw the original run many times at various tracks , including
Thunderbolt Raceway near Jax. , and of course here at Spruce Creek.

Now how can we glaze over your affinity for horses and not suggest

BLACK BEAUTY
Or
Black Betty - come on this name has its own theme song perfect for roof cam videos.

Ram Jam - Black Betty

SR-71 Blackbird
Studebaker R series 71
I see a resemblance

[DEEPNHOCK]

Oh great... Now I have that earworm.... 'dang thing gone wild, jamalam...'

How about: SR-53 Blackbird (from the Studebaker skunkworks)...
(Kelly Johnson would roll over in his grave...and laugh out loud at me)

[Marie Mac]

Like Studebaker , this stuff is no longer made.
A short lived fusion of Coke and Coffee. I liked it .

[DEEPNHOCK]

Not yet...
Still thinkin'....and lookin'....

Have you picked a name yet?

[Randy_G]

Black Magic

[MRHawkes]

The Fitty-Tree Flyer
Trekkin' Quick

Deepnhock, good luck with the car and the name selection.

[Michidan]

The world has had it's Chicken Hawk.
Time for the Turkey Vulture to take flight!

[DEEPNHOCK]

Black Buzzard does have a certain carrion like ring to it....
Could put a big buzzard sticker on the hood like the Firebird.....
Nahh.....

[DEEPNHOCK]

OK... Who's a good graphic's/Photoshop guy out there?
I am challenged, and on the road right now and can't do it on this computer...
Who could/can take this pic, and modify it to 'add' the letter "L" to change 'BACK' to 'BLACK"?????

[Pat Dilling]

Jeff, Whatever name you pick, "different by design" should be on it somewhere.

[starliner62]

Sorry, Black Betty is taken. It doesn't matter if only her nose and fenders are black, I'm trying!!!!!!

[Marie Mac]

Remember the logo Elvis had on his plane--"taking care of business in a flash (TCB)" with the lightning bolt?...picture this: Flashblack in a lightning bolt--could be a flashy design...

[clonelark]

Maybe if you could find an R-3 emblem and modify it to be R-53, or a decal made up with a circle with the S in it and R/53 on it. Either put on the fender 64 style, or on the wing tips.

[4hawks]

I have two, 'BLACK GOLD' or my all time favorite, 'GOOD VIBRATIONS'.
Do you have a thread with more pics of the black car... not that I ever get tired of looking at the yellow one but, I have only seen a couple shots of the black car.
