Interesting Halloween project... at least worth a look So, for my halloween project I am trying to make a transformers costume that transforms to my 4th gen ss. I have spare hoods that i separated the hood skins from and have already made a few of the panels. Here is some info...
-it does transform from a car to a robot
-it rolls
-it is fully metal
I do plan to get some pictures later on in the night or the week.
For now, here are a couple of the quick sketches from back when i was trying to design the thing. I know this seems pretty wierd, especially on an LS1 forum, but being that this is pretty much the only tech forum that i go on, and being that i am modeling it after camaro body parts, i was hoping to get some feedback... and dont worry, im prepared for the non-believers, haha

Sorry about posting it here... but since i am dealing with body panels, tools, etc. i figured this would be the best place to post in case i needed some kind of advice, ideas, or help of some kind. if thats my bad then mods, please move this to the forum that you think would be of the biggest help. thanks
on another note, here is a picture of the hood and hood scoop. im working on the arms, front wheels, and front bumper today and tomorrow.

Just picked up the wheels and should have pictures of the side/arm panels soon. Waiting on paypal money to come through so i can buy a welder...
this is actually a lot lighter than i expected it to be

Haha, it does more than transform. I just cut out the arms/fenders, cut fender wells, mounted the wheels and tires,and cut some pieces for the helmet. Ill take a couple pictures as soon as the lights in my garage turn back on... hah...
On a side note, i convinced my girlfriend to go out with me dressed as a mechanic, with a small tool belt that will have a couple tools ill need in case something comes loose. Hopefully that wont happen though!
