Making Some Progress!!

It's been 1 year since the van was first rolled into the shop. We've made some progress, but not as much as I would have liked to over this year. With the van originally being just a restoration project we had limited time and limited budget. The students and I decided that the van could be a whole lot more then just a restoration project. With fuel prices going threw the roof and global climate change, becoming a real concern it only makes sense to make it into an alternative fuel vehicle. The students chose to use a diesel engine because it's so flexible and so much can be done to increase the efficiency. The student recently put a lot of work into making a presentation of there plans. They put together a DVD that outlines there plans for completing the van and a trip around the United States to teach people about conservation. We presented it to our School Board, and were given a full blessing to continue full steam. We are in the process of finding sponsorship for this huge undertaking project. The fact is things are starting to cruise, so expect more postings in the near future.
