Thread: R.i.p. "blue Whale" - Adam Householder's Pre Runner/ Race Truck

Here is a video of us putting Adam's truck to rest yesterday. Big thing's are on the way besides the Trophy Truck. Stay Tuned....

Why did he decide to trash it like that?

sucks to see it go :-/

Nice video for sure...

It would have been cool to get the truck into a cube and make an office desk out of it!

I can only say one word, WHY??

Wasnt worth repairing... and like Brad said, Some Big Things are comings besides the TT

Saw the truck many a times at Glamis. Was a badass ride for sure. Now that it's been recycled, maybe there will be a little bit of the blue whale in my next set of parts I by from the store.

circle of life, funny what it took to make that whale look small, big ass killdozer

about 2:12 man the whale did not want to die. took some serious force to crush that cage. you know you've built a solid truck when a big ass machine can't mush it like a tin can.

That was a very nice truck. I was`unaware it was a full tube chassis truck though.

It had the stock frame rail, just cut off behind the cab

no shit, watch the wheels on the truck on the left it came up off the ground

sad day. but there is definatley BIG things comin'. stay posted guys

WHY! WHY! damnit I love that truck. I almost cryed right now.

Seems like someone would have bought it and fixed it???

Wow! must be painful.

What was wrong with it? And did he get paid to scrap it like that?

post pics of the truck in action

what happened to it to destroy it??? every time i saw this in glamis my jaw dropped sad to see it go but i know there will be a replacement...long live the blue whale!!!!

Wtf! Why Trash It? Someone Woulda Bought It.

sad sad day

You know the cage was strong when the dozer pushes down on the top of the cage and the dozers front wheels come off the ground. Painful to watch.

Im Gonna Go Home And Have A Moment Of Silence Watching The Part Of "ignition" That Has That Truck In It And Play It Over And Over Again.

u would do something like that

The Uniball cup snapped in the lower arm due to the uniball popping out of the race. I believe he was going about 60mph when he rolled. He cut the cab off and was going to replace the cab with one he already has, then started to realize the truck was underbuilt for what the truck was capable of. he was at the point of rebuilding it or scrapping it and starting over.

Time will tell what Adam has planned



Action Shot!!!

wow super sad saw the truck a couple times...always wished i had one like it. SAD DAY!

wow, i never knew that happened.

Fuck it, it's just metal.

sad to see it got but i know the blue whale #2 will be more stout then #1 and more horsepower also. cant wait to see it when #2 gets done it will be missed always loved seeing it fly down sand drags at glamis with a hella high roost getting throw up behind it.

god damn that is sad, i could never do that to my truck even after a wreck, im going down to the shop to hug her.

Does any one know what Adam does for a living? Is he hiring?

is he slanging rock?

I slang rock and I dont make that kind of money.

he shoulda cut it up and made some artwork out of it, like a table or desk or even just hang the backhalf in the shop or somthing. that was deff one of the sickest chevys built in the past couple years. any specs on the new project? or is it a secret

Who has the video of the Blue Whale hangin with Alan pflueger's TT at laughlin?
