Al Massey Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 (edited) So a few years back, I bought a very, very rare Supra pedal car. However it was badly damaged So decided to do something different with it. With the help Ellis Grange at http://www.fiftyninedesign.com about for redesigning all the stickers from scratch and pretty much guessing the sizes required. And then rejigging the designs after sending me the first prints to test out as he wasn’t happy until it was perfect. Mark Armitage at Your Final Vinyl for printing the stickers. Karl Owen for the spray painting. Without these, it wouldn’t have been possible. So I started off by stripping it down, removing all stickers, residue and crap that had accumulated over the years. It then went to Karl who prepped and painted it all for me. I then bought a cheap Ali spoiler from ebay. Cut the legs to make it smaller and fit better. A Had to cut the feet to fit the recess, then cut the two blade down so it would fit. Trimmed the width of both to make two sections. Cut the side bits so it would be smaller. Plenty of sand, polish and paint. Could do with some more work. Then took apart the steering wheel from my kids Lightning McQueen ride on car. Drilled a few holes for the nos buttons from my old supra steering wheel. Painted black and managed to make it fit. Then added my Defi Rev counter and shift light. Still working on a power solution and a device to make it Rev. Had to rework the windscreen as it was snapped in a few places. Bit of tape, glue, sanding and paint and it looks alright. Then added the stickers. Getting some more made up as I think I can do a better job of applying them. Next up is adding some lights and possibly a motor and remove the pedal system and possibly a speaker for supra sounds lol - - - Updated - - - Edited September 7, 2020 by Al Massey (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Bullitt Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Come on Al, more photos and info needed. Stop being a prick tease Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellis Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Cheers! Most of the logos (including the large side graphics) had to be completely redrawn to be accurate for cutting by Mark Armitage. This means that I have everything on file if anybody needs full size bits in the future too! Real labour of love and a great project to work on - loved doing it! Awesome result too - looks spectacular. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ellis Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 When is it ready and when is Al taking you out for a drive to the McDonald’s carparks? We're on the look out for a pedal car Ferrari to race from the lights first! Not for me to tell all - Al will reveal everything! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Massey Posted September 7, 2020 Author Share Posted September 7, 2020 Sorry guys, mobile uploading went t*ts up lol Adding some more now, can only do a few at a time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Bullitt Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Extra piccies are good. You should look into getting a mould done and selling these. Provide a decent lead time and you could make a nice income off this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Massey Posted September 7, 2020 Author Share Posted September 7, 2020 Video added as struggling with the photos, need to resize some of them I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few people have asked about wanting one or a copy, one guy has already offered $1000 for mine lol JB mentioned someone on Instagram, so I am going to look to see if I can find electric car chassis about the same size and then look into getting the shell molded and make another or similar version.

Just seen the video. Bet there will be some fights over who gets to drive it If you have a spare bit of money floating about I’d say go for it, strike while the iron's hot. Something completely fresh being done and from a really different perspective. The Supra community feels a little stale at times, ideas from yesteryear being rehashed across the board but this is great. Get the video up on the FB pages and get those Arabs interested. Maybe they will order a gold plated one! Don’t know if you don’t try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m looking into options to get copies made, may not be cheap though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
