Another Blastolene creation - Piss'd off pete

[opendriver]

From Autoblog:

We are amazed every time we see a new creation from the Blastolene Brothers, and this latest monster we spotted at last night's Jet Center party in Monterey made our jaws drop. Built by Randy Grubb, the same man responsible for designing and constructing Jay Leno's tank car, this rolling monster is comprised of a chopped Peterbilt model 351 cab and an 852ci two-stroke Detroit Diesel twin-supercharged V12 mated to an Allison 4-speed automatic transmission from a Greyhound bus. The engine produces 500 horsepower and nearly 1000 lb-ft torque with a redline of just 2,800 rpm. Other features include a custom boat-tail gas tank, Baer brakes, stitched leather seats made by a saddle maker and a customized rear end from a semi truck. Overall, Grubb spent over 3,000 man hours and 15 months to build this one off creation and has lovingly given it the nickname "Piss'd Off Pete." Check out all the incredible details in the high-res gallery below.

Among other creations, this is my personal favorite along side the tank car and Big Bertha.

I knew about this car, yet the first thing I thought of when I saw the title was early '90s monster truck Super Pete...MEH.

Still, Detroit Diesel. Second. Best. Diesel. Sound. Ever.

((First: Napier Deltic. I'd like to see them put one of those into a car...))
