Personally, I'd rather vote for projects that are off the drawing board and under construction at least.

I was actually going to suggest that as nomination criteria.

I don't want to see a situation where the actual "doers" with real but perhaps modest projects are getting outvoted by the "blue sky" projects that may or may not ever materialize. (Not saying Blue Bomber isn't going to do his particular project. But there's definitely a history here of grand plans that don't take off.)

What do people think?

I nominate jimepting's rear belly pan. It's a very clean mod, and well planned out with the aluminum frame to hold the coroplast.

I think it's safe to nominate Coyote's plug-in hybrid Metro conversion. I bet he'll have it moving under electric power before the end of the month.

Geo Metro plug-in parallel hybrid EV - in progress
