See the Step-by-Step Project Guide

 

          It looks like Detroit is finally going green. Well, brown anyway! In celebration of Earth Day Ford Motor Company has released a concept vehicle that finally addresses the most stringent environmental concerns. Due for production in 2015 this new design makes use of breakthrough technologies that reduce tailpipe emissions to zero. In addition the entire body structure and interior are made from dirt! It is actually made of baked clay.

 

            The advantages are tremendous for the savvy buyer. Not only will you get carbon offset credits for your purchase but auto body repairs are now as easy as making mud pies. In the event of a collision, repairs can be made by simply scooping up some mud and slapping it on the damaged area. Using the factory installed blow dryer to set the patch, you’re on your way within 15 minutes and nobody will ever know the difference. Just don’t forget to throw on a couple coats of varnish before the next big rainstorm!

 

            The propulsion system is just as amazing. It runs entirely on compressed air just like filling up a balloon. This new compressed air technology (CAT) allows the vehicle to travel over 100 miles on a fill up and is ideal for city driving.

 

            End-of-Life requirements mandate that manufacturers make products that are mostly recyclable. This new design is quite an advance in that area as well. After removing the drive train to melt the few steel parts down that are in the vehicle, the tires are shredded to make new road building material, the wheels are recycled to make aluminum cans and the body is buried in the ground where it will completely dissolve within three years into some fine potting soil.

 

            You can’t buy one of these beauties yet but you can make a replica to display at your next environmental event to show how serious you are about protecting the earth. This two-story pickup truck even comes with a bio-degradable bed liner for that organic garden you’ve been wanting to plant. The convenient sunroof permits easy access to the fruit trees and the rabbits can’t get to your veggies without a ladder.

 

            Here is how to turn a gas guzzler into environmental ecstasy so if you like what you see and want to learn how to do it for yourself, read all about it in the Step-By-Step section.
