Chris,

I nominate Gordon Ooghe for featured project. I love seeing a person just staying in there, fixing the bugs, and never quitting.

@don_mannes

I nominate Carl Zinn’s 95 Dakota project. Featured Projects / Carl Zinn's 1995 Dakota
Carl not only understands the complexities of wood gas construction and operation but is so willing and able to share his knowledge with us. Next to Wayne and Chris, he is our go to man with questions.

Don, Carl’s truck is already a featured project… He’s even on the front page still!

The list of previously featured projects is here: Featured Projects | Drive On Wood!

You know, the F 250 that started things going - Ole Red should maybe be in a dual image with the novice build winner since it’s the granddaddy.

Bump. April is almost over. Cast your votes now! The post with the most likes will be featured this month.

[Chris (Chris Saenz)]

This month was a tie between Don Mannes and Al Frick. Since Don’s build is finished, his Tracker is now the Featured Project for May.

Featured Project - Don Mannes Tracker

Featured Project of the Month for May 2015 is Don’s Geo Tracker. Don has taken the standard WK design and shoehorned it into a tiny pacakge - small enough to fit in the “pickup bed” he created in the back of his Tracker. Don’s first post about the Tracker, July 2014: I am getting really close to Driving On Wood with my unconventional WK gasifier project and have been getting some really strong hints to come clean with what I have been up to.so I thought it was time to show what I have been do…

Keep voting and adding candidates. Next month we’ll feature the most popular build from the ones remaining!

[trikebuilder57 (Al Frick)]

This month we’re featuring two builds: Al Frick’s slide in gasifier unit, and Herb Hartman’s wood powered Caddy!

Featured Project for June:

Featured Project - Al Frick's Slide In Gasifier

Featured Project of the Month for June 2015 is Al Frick’s slide in gasifier. Al has come up with a clever arrangement for his upcoming woodgas truck - a slide in unit! With no permanent attachment to the vehicle, he can easily move it to a different truck whenever he likes. [Premium members can view the full build thread here: http://forum.driveonwood.com/t/al-fricks-slide-in-build/1168] “I made this to slide in to my Dakota, 48 Ford F100, or on a small trailer. I have to plumb the Dakota, and…

Featured Project for July:

Featured Project - Herb Hartman's 1991 Cadillac DeVille

Featured Project of the Month for July 2015 is Herb’s 91 Caddy. This is the one you might have seen on the evening news! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PBW1UNbIArQ “I became a member of DOW about the same time Wayne started posting the construction videos and have been working on this ever since. I went out looking for a Dakota and came home with a 91 Caddy…This is a dual system all the way, from the dual combustion intake air inlets in bottom of lower drum to the one butterfly that lets wood…

Better start nominating some more builds - whatever project gets the most votes will be our next feature!
