The “Blastolene Brothers” are returning to the Goodguys 21st Texaco/Havoline West Coast Nationals in a big way later this month.

Randy Grubb of Grants Pass, Oregon is putting the finishing touches on a creation he’s calling “B-702” – spectacular roadster based on the “French curve” boat tail roadsters of the 1930s. Built almost exclusively in house by Grubb (he hand built the entire car and performed all the fabrication other than the interior – which was done by Randy’s Rods in Williams, Oregon), the “B-702” will make its long awaited debut the weekend of August 17-19 at the Pebble Beach Concours.

Inspired by the great "French Curve" cars of the 30's with a shot of Blastolene, the hand formed aluminum body and fenders ride on a custom 155" wheel base made out of 2"x 5" x 3/16" wall steel box tubing. The front axle is a custom oversized I-beam located by hand made hairpins and a custom tranverse leaf spring.

The 1962 GMC 702 cubic inch V-12 was rebuilt in 1981 by the U.S. government and was used in an airport rescue vehicle. Coupled to a modified Allison 545 automatic transmission, the 650 lbs. of torque at 850 rpm should be more than enough power!

Winslow, Arizona based Blastolene Brother Rodney Rucker will debut his brand new, 28 foot long “Blastolene Daytona Special” roadster – powered by a 2400 cubic inch Packard V-12 (yanked from a Military PT Boat). The car features a mind-blowing 250-inch wheelbase! Rucker will also bring “Sneaky Pete”  - a Peterbuilt truck inspired model A  hot rod which just completed the 4,600-mile “Great Race” across America, consuming a mind-boggling $8,000 worth of gasoline!

But wait! There’s more! Santa Cruz, California Blastolene Brother Mike Leeds will be bringing his new hemi powered tricycle and will exclusively debut the “El Gordo Verde” – a new Peterbuilt truck inspired hot rod which was built as a flagship test vehicle for the television show “Green Machines” which will air this fall. The car runs on bio diesel and will make stops around America in support of Green Earth environmental awareness.

It’s going to “Blastolene Overdrive” at the West Coast Nationals! Make sure and stop by to check out these wild, very original creations!
