Blastolene ''is a Brotherhood of autonomous individual artists and craftsmen who encourage each other's creativity.''
So it says on their website.
Basicly, is where some really cool artists come up with their weirdest and wildest machines.
Michael Leeds and Randy Grubb are the main artists from Blastolene.
Let me revigorate your memory...
A while ago, Randy built The Blastolene Special.
He also built The Piss'd Off Pete Truck.
''Randy's Peterbilt Features 12v71 Detriot Diesel with two 671 superchargers.''
Whike Michael Leeds built these two insane ''trikes'' .
The first and most known is the Rocket II. ''Features blown Hemi, Stainless Kulgul
independent Rear end.''

Now I remembered ! (hahaha)
So you take Randy + a old shitty motorhome and the result ?
The DECOLINER !
''Randy's Vision: Flash Gordon's Motorhome!
This 26' polished aluminum beauty features a flying bridge, complete with driving station
and room for 5 passengers on the roof.''
1973 GMC Motorhome chassis. 1955 White COE (cab-over engine). Nuff said.
I'm one of the few who really has nothing to do with motorhomes. I don't even care that much about them to hate'em. But the Decoliner is stellar !
Michael is also busy, with his 1942 Ranger v-12 airplane engine car.
