Cartoon Junkie Builds Mach 5 From Speed Racer

[@ned_erdy]

All this guy needs is a mustache, and he will the real life version of Pops!

[@jackallen6261]

No shit! That's funny.

[@TheBeatlesShow]

And he needs to be Japanese, too.

[@robynsegg]

RIGHT???!!!

[@Marvin_Ave]

@@TheBeatlesShow bruh no

[@lindaragsdale6958]

Well it probably took him along time to figure it out, he probably looked more like Speed Racer when he was a kid.

[@darktater2020]

Child of the 70’s here. Speed Racer was my guy. Had to hurry home to watch it after school. Good times.

[@peskyava3982]

He’s not a cartoon junkie , he’s a legend!

[@stonybrook421]

Racer's X car next?

[@BlueTeam-John-Fred-Linda-Kelly]

"Cartoon junkie" well this definitely started a riot.

[@mandocalrissian6454]

*started a "peaceful protest".

[@KunaiKrazy]

I watched the reruns on cartoon network back in the 90s. Great show. No idea it was 30 years old at the time and now it's 50!

[@yusukelee9590]

That's the awesome thing about being a kid is everything on TV and on the radio is older than you ,gives you an appreciation and nostalgia for music and TV from before when you're born ,idk if kids today do that or not but I grew up in the 2000s and that was my experience almost everything I watched was from the 70s 80s or 90s

[@petercofrancesco1620]

I grew up in the 1960s watching Speed Racer

[@MrObsessiveakaPlastiksurgeon]

Tatsuo Yoshida's inspiration for the cartoon Mach 5 came from Ferrari's 1957-58 Testarossa. Look at the actual car, and you'll see a lot of the Mach 5. BTW, this was my FAVORITE cartoon back when it first came on in the area back in the fall of '68. EVERYONE in my school (third grade then) was talking about Speed Racer! 👍

[@Joemamagaywsf]

William Geary Jr. How old are you

[@AvengerII]

Wow... Line for line, the Mach 5 IS almost a direct copy of that Ferrari! Beautiful looking car. An unrestored 250 sold for close to $40 million recently. They only made 34 of them...

[@robynsegg]

Just Googled the images! You're right. The Mach 5 really does look like the Testarossa.

[@Rompastompa71]

True.... I just Looked It Up.

[@AintB2]

He was a demon on wheels.

He did a pretty good job getting it close to the anime

Not an anime it’s a cartoon dumbass weeb

I could not resist searching out the original Speed Racer theme song after watching this video and playing it a couple of times.

[@triskaidekathirteen724]

I want to drive this car some day......before I am too old to enjoy it! 👍🏻 Oh, and I want to play the music as I pass cars on the Highway

[@KingKatRider]

Never missed an episode when I was a kid, this is freakin Badass!

[@rwdonegan100]

I want one! I used to watch this cartoon EVERY morning at the babysitter’s house before I was in school! Thanks for bringing the dream alive!

[@jntj3007]

Bravo Jerry! Looks just as I remember it from my childhood. Thanks! (I'd LUV to see those cutter blades cut down some trees, then maybe the car, could transform into "Frogger Mode", for a drive underwater.)

[@guillaumechartrand4115]

hahahaha "lets just say it's unlimited" huuummmmmm that didn't sound right to me

[@logan5326]

Guillaume Chartrand ...yeah, to me too. Probably he really wanted it to say; no more than 90 mph.

[@peashooteranimations8082]

The actual mach 5 goes 350 mph

[@joecowan1230]

A fantastic car, I can't wait to see the Mach 6

[@Expatriate1977]

This guy is awesome. Really love how this car looks. Excellent fit and finish

[@sacman68]

My eyes were glued to the tv when I got home from school bcuz Speed Racer was on and boy, did I love that car! This Mach 5 is Awesome! The only thing missing is the little door on the hood for the Homing Robot Birdie, lol. Now make the matching helmet and your set!!!

[@TheLenaweeTrekker]

Very cool, I love it, but how will Spritel and Chim Chim get into the trunk😉✌🖖👍

[@talon3684]

Mach 5 - Complete Mach 6 - Unknown

[@jeffreyallen9626]

Awesome! And beautiful!

[@bobbyschwager6727]

I agree about them wheels. A used set of Lamborghini Countach wheels. Wheels from one that was up to the ear 1989

[@oz1141]

The Mach 5 wheels, has 6 holes not 5.

[@pearsooo6972]

[@jonathanhorton4607]

The car is awsome, best reproduction Ive seen to date, this is a style car that needs a market, maybe refined and slimmer but, man...

Not many people remember ole speed racer my uncle bought me the speed racer pedal car for my second birthday im 55 now but I Remember that pedal car many years ago nice job on the car

If I could have a real Mach 5 and the original Batmobile, I would die the happiest man in the world.

Love the care. Looks great!

[@anthonypropst1818]

OMG! Someone built one! LOL YES!

[@MrMikeyx007]

I've seen Cragar rims similar to The Mach 5 rims the star in the middle so I think you could have done a little bit better detail on the car but it looks nice though

[@willieoliver2023]

No the champ 500 centerline racing wheels that came out in 1985 was copied after the mach 5 I couldn't afford the 500s so I just got the original ones

[@kaduisaui8016]

I am not saying I could do any better. Wheels, rear end, steering wheel, bonnet, exhaust and lights. Just from this short video I have too many complaints. It's nice but not that nice.

[@faded89545]

Fr looks like he drew the wheels on cardboard and taped it over the wheels

[@peashooteranimations8082]

But its not easy model a car

[@horacthy8577]

He make it similar with the cartoon and that's totally lookalike

Not to nit pick, cause it is an awesome car, but the custom "in house" wheels are just hubcaps.
