CORPORATE SPONSORS;




Someone asked me why?    To keep it simple,  We the American public love our cars.  With everyone talking about global dependency on fossil fuels. The
Government's constant attack on the automotive hobby,  and so on.  I decided to have some fun with the whole mess.  I could gripe and complain, which I still do.
 Or have some fun, I chose FUN, with a twist.

I have been told that it takes more energy to produce alternative fuels.  So what!  The whole Idea is if we work at it long enough, want to fix the problem enough,
then we can find a alternative that will make every one happy.  So with that out of the way think of this.  This Jeep has a working still in the back capable of 4
gallons per hour.  You could stoke the still, go to bed and drive to grandmothers the next day.  Stoke the still, eat thanksgiving dinner, followed by a fuel sampling
session  "driver excluded". And have enough fuel to drive home.

Keep dreaming and thinking, look outside the box.  If you need something bad enough you will find a way to make it happen.  
Necessity is the mother of all inventions.

Another aspect I wanted in this build was to include some history into the equation.  In the old days the still would be by running water, deep in the hills.  The cars
that "ran" the product to it's final destination had some interesting features to say the least.  With a flick of a switch the tail lamps went out, and the headlamps
would stay lit.  On a sharp curve oil would be sprayed on the hot tail pipes to produce a smoke screen and an oil slick .  Nascar got some of its early stars from
moon shinning.

So have fun,  check back for updates and keep thinking!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
