We've all seen the Blastolene Decoliner.

Here's another way someone could go on their GMC.

Maybe choosing a more subdued.... color. I'm sure Byron could come up
with a good scheme...

Well, I like the plat and glass sitting on the front deck.

As to a scheme, I only design for things that actually go somewhere. That
thing won't go anywhere except up and down a new, flat runway.

Any information on where this was taken? Looks like quite the gathering of customs, though some of these creations are pretty well out there.

Kelvin,

The Decoliner is unique and the styling has a theme.

This "thing" is ridiculous!

This critter had to be the nightmare of the Toyota designer who created
the mid-engine van. He also developed the eggmobile just before loosing
his job.

Bill,

Agreed!

However, to a pimply faced teen age driver it's cool!

I'll bet that if we showed pictures of the rods we thought were cool to them
they'd use the same term! ;-)

Was that really necessary, Russell?
There is no way to "unsee" all of that.
And yes... I had to look at it...
