The Nisscion is Almost done!
It looks like he completely reworked the body, he went with the widebody, but also modified the hood, grill, lights, tail lights, and shaved everything. I looked at the pics a couple of days ago so I may be slightly off, but it is much more than a widebody xb.

Yay i finnally get to see the picsive been hounding you in myspace for!!
hahaha

ok answering a few of the questions...
Its more then a widebody...yes
Its a custom metal widebody...so its "one off" or only one was made/customed in that fashion just like the LIMO Xb, the 5-Axis XB, tien xb, and the Scion commercial RED widebody xb...
alot of the modifications are all custom...
hood was molded, the gril was customed, the headlighst and tailights are frenched and worked into the body..
the sideskirts bumper and front bumper all had to be split and extended..
yes 70 inches wide...the box has a big @ss ...hes been sitting around and just eating so...nautrally his rear end would expand
for the most parts you can see me a few times in the videos but i am a woman...and sometimes i take the camera and sometimes my husband does the shooting angles...but mainly ive done the editing in the videos...but for the most part i stay out of the video b/c the focus is not me...but the car...this build has never been about me and the car remains for the most part...genderless...and therefore unbiased.
thanks for the support everyone i really appreciate the support and excitement over the pending completion of the vehicle...which should be soon...but something always comes up and makes the process of completion alittle bit longer then expected but the end is in site thank god..i dunno how much more i can take without suffering a stroke at age 25!..well next week i'm 25...
jwaj2002 - sorry like cali Miami is a hotspot and things are open 24-7 and things are more excessible then other regions...BUT we do have to deal with hurricanes! well look around dont just look into import shops look into hotrodding shops which i KNOW have to exist where you are and they are def masters at metal work b/c they restore older vehicles that were mostly made out of a denser metal then now...actually before i found tuner solutions i was looking at a few hotrodding places to inquier into b/c they did custom metal work...remember what we do with our imports is nothing new it was done waaaaayyy back in the 40-50's of switching and molding in other grills and headlights/taillights from other vehicles so anything is possible in your area you just gotta research and know where to look and how to go about things
hope i helped in that aspect...again i can be wordly and geeky so i apologize for the lengthy response
again going back to a previous question asked this car keeps its signals and plate location b/c it is a theme based on if toyota and nissan sat down and decided to create this box for OEM mass production... if you look at the nissan armada you ca see some similarities in the widebody...and also the tien xb...remember that? man hardly any images really exsist of it now...sad it was a really nice car...to me anyways..
i hope i answered the questions a few of you asked...and i think i rambled for quite a bit beyond that as well...
learning after effects today b/c i want to incorperate more into the final 3rd video...to it almost being a prof car commercial...hehehe figure i'd be kinda kool..
wish i had a mac but i work on laptop and at work we work on PC's so i'm working in adobe premier pro 2.0 tho i'd like to learn final cut pro...
no I was asking how come some of yall don't move here, we have a few hot rod shops, most of the shops here though are restoration shops or lift shops, the import scene in arkansas is mostly ricers

i got family here...i'm mafia'd to miami as my location hehe but there are other reasons i stay as well...lots of good friends here...and also i went to college upstate for 4yrs and didnt like the cold weather much...so i moved back down to miami... snow looks lovely but i'm warm blooded i need warm weather lol!
that could be the others excuses as well...dunno but thats my excuse
