In the vehicle addition pack, it is possible to make a vehicle out of custom grown blob vehicle parts.

Requirements

So the first thing you will need to do for any slime vehicle is create a Growing blob frame, this takes 6 cooking skill and 2 fabrication skill.

Creation of the blob frame

After you make the frame wait about an hour and dissemble it and you will have 2 growing blob frames for not additional cost. This goes for most growing Slime parts.

Now if you are too eager to you can start creating a slime vehicle by using your gooy mass to make frame and or craft wheels/treads and containers but you will still need a source of locomotion and a battery.

Additional parts

Slime vehicles can use the same parts as other vehicles have but that doesn't guarantee they will still be foldable, so here are some other working parts you can make.

Locomotion: If you want a vehicle that runs on slime feed you will need to create a growing mass of tendrils which over time grows into an amorphous heart. To do that you will need to go through the process of making a growing ooze mass and from there a growing gray mass and progressing to growing mass of tendrils. All those will require the previous mass you used, mutagen, and blob feed.

A putrid heart in a vehicle becomes an inert core and it allows your vehicle to consume liquefied blob feed as fuel.

Battery: Using the basic mass you started out with and combining it with a plutonium cell, mutagen and blob feed you can create something called a Glowing growing mass, which is basically a power generator, a battery and lighting combined.

Note some things you can make just by walking up to your vehicle with the mass and forming it to shape and some other things you will need to craft like slime wheels/treads. And the more advanced a blob vehicle part is, the harder it will be to make, but that is beyond the scope of this simple guide.
