Katsusauce Posted April 13 Posted April 13 I'm going to try and build this Nissan Cube in a VIP Style.....😂 3
Katsusauce Posted April 13 Author Posted April 13 First off, I wanted to move the stock rear seat all the way back to the rear, but both the front and rear seat bottoms were molded into the floor pan. So I decided to cut them both out, patch the holes, and try and decide what to do about seating. 3
Katsusauce Posted April 13 Author Posted April 13 I had some Revell 59 Cadillac seats in my "junkyard" and decided that's what I'm going with. Here's the rear mockup. 4
Katsusauce Posted April 13 Author Posted April 13 I'm using the bucket seats from the 59 Cadillac for the fronts. They looked a little short, so I fabricated tall seat rails for them. Kind of looks to big for the little Cube..... what to do.....🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔 6
Katsusauce Posted April 15 Author Posted April 15 Next I'm going to try and make a touch screen for the audio, maybe another screen below the HVAC controls, and a digital dash cluster. 4
OldNYJim Posted April 15 Posted April 15 Looks like a good start!  What’s the cream colored filler you used on the floor?  Tamiya? 1

Katsusauce Posted April 18 Author Posted April 18 I decided to cut another hole in the dash....the glove box to be precise. Printed up an android home screen for the audio opening, and a Sony home screen for the glove box monitor. I decided to go with Tamiya's Bright Blue and Black for the interior colors. 2
Katsusauce Posted April 19 Author Posted April 19 The Cube has to have a rear spoiler.... it just has too. 1
Katsusauce Posted April 19 Author Posted April 19 Front suspension is pretty much dialed in. Hard camber. 😂 3
Katsusauce Posted April 19 Author Posted April 19 The front lower arms needed to go up so it meets the lowered state of the spindle. A little work with my "V" shaped file and a little heat from a hair dryer fixed that. 1
Katsusauce Posted April 19 Author Posted April 19 The rear suspension was super easy. Cut down the mounting just a bit (2.75mm) and filed the wheel mount to camber the wheels into the wheel well. I use a camber gauge by ZoomOn Models to make sure it's somewhat accurate and symmetrical (or close to symmetrical 😂).   2
Katsusauce Posted May 2 Author Posted May 2 (edited) The interior has color and flocking. The table fits great with the rear seat pushed back into the cargo area. The chrome paint on the door handles is Green Stuff World The chrome trim on the front seats is Hasegawa film. Edited May 2 by Katsusauce 3

Very clean work with the dash. 2 1
Rod666 Posted May 2 Posted May 2 Uhh, here are so many great ideas with nice result! Great work so far! 1
Katsusauce Posted Sunday at 10:00 PM Author Posted Sunday at 10:00 PM Decided to go with Yamamoto Model Car Parts DTM style muffler. Notched the rear for the opening, and mockup.  1
