Hello FB EK owners. Dad and I have 5 Holdens here in SA. Two are FB's. When my daughter Phoebe was born I decided it was time to put my sketches into action and make the FB pedal car I had been planning for a long time. I now had a driver for it! It took just over a year to produce. Many jigs to get the pressings right and its built of sheet metal. Bumpers and Trim made of stainless steel. Everything except the badges and wheels were made.
Plans are to one day build a rag top or coupe for myself. For now though an early sketch will have to hang on the garage wall. Alastair Saxton

Very cool peddle car
Would of loved to of had one of them to cruise in
Nice ignition

I reckon theres a future normal size FB owner/collector in the making

Welcome Alastair, you certainly do have a talent that wont go to waste (the sketch and the metal work), What are the other Holdens you have? Trev .

That is so cool and cute. I can see a market for them but I suppose that would take away from the indiuidualty of it.. I know I would buy one...

hi Trevor, we have the two fb's , 1 eh wagon and two HR's . One of the HR's has a 186 motor and the other a factory fitted chevy 194 cid motor that is the same as a Chevy Two( a South African adaption ). I must get some photos of the others.
Also own a 59 chevy and Dodge Monaco.

OH WOW Alastair!!!!
Firstly love the pedal car! I'll have two!
Nice pen work on the two door convertible (great reflection work)!
Who did the two door job on the FB?
Scotty.

PS welcome to the forum

Great work Alastair

I only wish I had your talent.
Welcome

Wow, not only a cool pedal car, but an FB coupe!!

The coupe could almost be a convertable
Those pillars dont look too structural


And I love its subtleness

I dunno but after looking at it again could it be a photochop job?

Welcome Alistair,
Mate that is one awesome peddle car ... well done!!

Is the coupe shortened or is it just an illusion Who did the work on the coupe? is it your own handy work?

All the best
Gaz

must be a damn fine photo chopper as thats the first thing i looked at, but the trees grass etc are all correct so i think its real.

oh btw great pedal car and coupe mate

Gday Alastair, welcome to the forum.
The pedal car is awesome, great workmanship and detail, Cool as.
Your workmanship has also been put to good use on the coupe as well.
I've seen a couple of 2 door post versions made up over the years, but
your 'Sport Coupe' version is the best looking conversion I have seen done.
It just looks so right, its such a pity Holden didn't make them that way from new.
Great work, welcome aboard.
Im looking forward to seeing more of your stuff, and learning about Holdens in South Africa.

Cheers
Jeff
