RE: Decoliner Motor Home

[mezmo]

This is an add on to Tiredoldwhiteman's earlier post [Thanks for posting it!]
in the big thread in the Foamie Section about the Blastolene Motorhome,
or more appropriately the "Decoliner."

I just went through their web site, totally interesting, but the main thing
is I came across a link to a Jay's Garage video of the Decoliner [11:29
min]. The builder, Randy Grubb, took a 1973 GMC FWD Motor Home
chassis and the cab of a 1950s White COE truck and a lot of aluminum and
came up with this amazing "drivable sculpure". It still needs the interior to
be finished out - partially done now - but what a result for 15 month's
effort!

AND it is drive-able from both the 'flying bridge', like a large boat, as well as
the normal driving seat/postion. Just lift off the regular steering wheel, attach
the link to the flying bridge's steering column/wheel and away you can go
with your head about 11ft 6in above the street!

Here's the link:

Here's their web site:

I got to the Decoliner video by clicking on the "Piss'd off Pete" link to
Jay Leno's Garage and saw the Decoliner under it as a 'related' video.
Really glad I clicked on it!

'Hope you enjoy it.

Cheers,

P.S. I posted this in the General section as I thought it'd have wide
appeal. If the mods think the Off Topic section is more appropriate, feel
free to move it.

I got to see this rig in person, up close and on the cruise, this past summer at the Back to the '50s weekend in Grants Pass, OR ... very cool, and much more impressive when it's right in front of you instead of on a computer or TV screen. I'm kind of anxious to see it in its completed trim ... ...!

CHEERS!
