  1. We have stance! πŸ€”πŸ€”πŸ€”
  2. 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 πŸ˜‚).
  3. 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.
  4. Front suspension is pretty much dialed in. Hard camber. πŸ˜‚
  5. The Cube has to have a rear spoiler.... it just has too.
  6. 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.
  7. It's USC Kombi Spot Putty.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.....πŸ€”πŸ€”πŸ€”πŸ€”πŸ€”
  10. I had some Revell 59 Cadillac seats in my "junkyard" and decided that's what I'm going with. Here's the rear mockup.
  11. 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.
  12. I'm going to try and build this Nissan Cube in a VIP Style.....πŸ˜‚
  13. 3v. batteries and swithches are on the chassis, and all 16 LED's are on the body. Everything is from Evans Designs.
  14. The only part left to install is the front lower screen....
  15. Here's a few pictures of my wiring throughout the car. There are a total of 16 LED's running on 2 circuits. The switches and batteries are all on the chassis with a connector between the body and chassis.
  16. So, for those of you who've been following this build, I mentioned a superprize. In this picture, the 2 round button looking things are just that....push button switches accessible through 2 holes I drilled through the rear windscreen.
  17. I experimented with some clear UV paint on the dash panel. It goes on clear, and reveals it's color under UV light, or even LED's. I painted it right over the decal.
  18. After 24 hours, we got the side glass done.
  19. Dip, flip the window over and dip again....
  20. Doing glass work.... The trim has been painted,and all the decals are on including the Carbon Fiber frame. Ready for a swim in "Looks Like Glass"
  21. What an awesome looking Rivi‼️
  22. Beautiful build πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘
  23. Excellent work so far.....love your attention to detail.
