Dress in appropriate attair for the music to be played (e.g. rock, 50s etc)
* Fred Flintstone and car costume. Obviously dress as Fred with a pre-purchased costume. Create the sides and top of the car from cardboard or light wood. Ditto for the dash. Cover the side-wheels in grey plastic. Voila, Fred Flintstone driving his car.

That's pretty awesome
My boyfriend and I .... a vampire and his victim (early 1800s style attire. Sexy but with that traditional scary character flair.
I made a flowing cloak style cape with hood in a low pile shimmery black velour, typical of what women wore in those days, except I made it only elbow length. Was easy to push my chair and I could wear a low cut boosom bearing dress and not be chilly lol.

Hey now... easy there easy there... I'm going to be a HOT DUMMY 
My b/f's new wheelchair is bright orange, so I decided he's just going to wear all red and go as what he already is...
HELL ON WHEELS!
I like both the Ty Fighter and the tractor, but it's no fun if your costume is so big you can't get through the door.

Haha HELL ON WHEELS, that's great!
Yeah I already have enough issues without any other devices prohibiting me from getting through the door... and to my drink luckily my friend just built her house and made sure it was wheelchair friendly!

I've done some costumes in the past incorporating my wheelchair into the costume (I was a roller skate last year) but this year I'm going to go as a Jedi. I still love Star Wars.
