HOMEMADE TRANSFORMER

    A wisconsin man has built a 23-foot-tall transformer in his yard from an old car. George Edgren, a metalworker who has been making and selling lawn art for a number of years now, was coaxed by a friend to construct the towering machine. over the course of the month, edgren labored away on the sculpture, using the components of and Oldsmobile alero – from tires to form shoulders, the hood as a chest, to doors for abs and feet – to assemble the robotic structure’s giant stature.
