I NEED one of these...Japanese car show - Page 3 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

*Shane* · 04-29-2008, 06:59 PM

Yes they are! I would love to have on of the Suburban / Scion thing-a-ma-doosies as a daily driver.

67ChevyRedneck · 04-29-2008, 08:09 PM

Woah, weird, where's the 67 version?

cstanley · 04-29-2008, 08:31 PM

i'd roll in that! cool! they even have a "western hauler" version!

and the dash of the orange van...

**lks dcvn** · 04-29-2008, 09:19 PM

if these were road legal in the states - I would invest in one of those - since I only live 5 miles from work and the fastest road I take is 25mph - it would save me some money on gas (and I could park it anywhere!).

Zumo · 04-29-2008, 09:48 PM

Ohmygodisthatnotthecoolest!!!

I need one of those. This would kill 2 birds with one stone. Good fuel economy and the classic styling of our trucks.

gangforward · 04-29-2008, 09:56 PM

Showed this thread to a fabricator friend of mine - I told him I was only interested IF it worked with a SCION. Don't know what would be involved, what do you fabricators out there think? It would be awesome to make my Scion look like this!

Zumo · 04-29-2008, 10:06 PM

The more I think about this the crazier it makes me. If it is infact a Scion xB

Mooneyes has a Japanese brand. Does anyone have a contact there? This seems like the perfect product for them to sell here. They could import these conversion but I am sure we would pay a price for them.

Big agreement zuno - I have had a Scion Xb since 2005, and we fight over who gets to drive it. Get's amazing gas mileage, and it's fun as hell to drive. Great sound, (it's like being inside a speaker box) and there is an amazing amount of room in it. Making one look like a classic has got me going bigtime.

Biggest wonder to me is how they made that grille - wondering what would be involved.

Riveted1 · 04-29-2008, 10:52 PM

Anyone heard from their Japanese contacts yet??

lots and lots of fiberglass...

i don't think it's realistic or cost effective to make a kit like this out of metal. as for things like the grille, i think the easiest, but probably not the cheapest way would be to take it to one of those places that CNC's 3d plastic models of stuff.

Check out the blue 69/70 in that set of pics... is that the real deal??? All you can see is the front clip and it's surrounded by pics of all the other "mini" vehicles...

GRIMSS · 04-29-2008, 11:38 PM

that one is the real deal. there is also a camaro in a pic there

Ohhh, didn't see that at first. There's also a blue 67/68 camaro next to the 69.

GRIMSS · 04-29-2008, 11:41 PM

What's the rear of an Xb look like?

Zumo · 04-29-2008, 11:45 PM

Does not look like an xB

IvelDesigns · 04-29-2008, 11:47 PM

* runs to the supply store to buy all of the fiber glass they have in stock....

Zumo · 04-29-2008, 11:51 PM

You could even get 15 steelies and put chevy hubcaps on there.

Why did we think of this before. Tri-pro Automotive are you reading this? You guys could totaly do this for the xB.

gangforward · 04-29-2008, 11:56 PM

well shoot. That is NOT a SCION. In Japan Suzuki, Hyundai and perhaps a few others make this mini cars that sport 600-800cc 2 cycle motors - looks to me that is what we're talking about.

But I'm not giving up - gotta visit with one of my best fabricator buddies - and get a tape measure out and see if this would in fact work with a Scion.

CG · 04-30-2008, 02:38 AM

See post number 46. These aren't Scions =( they are very very very small cars, vans and station wagons that are not even legal here.

Im bummed

GREASEMONKEY72 · 04-30-2008, 03:14 AM

i would actually own one of those

GRIMSS · 04-30-2008, 03:17 AM

here is a chop of a first gen xb. Looks like it should work on a xb with a lot of fab work.

stock

chop

72freak · 04-30-2008, 03:37 AM

They are Suzuki's............I saw the name of the car and looked it up.........we cant get them here.

Comparing the pics........its the stock fenders....they just altered the front end and the hood.

ratpackv8sonly · 04-30-2008, 03:43 AM

Emailed my frinds in Japan today so hopefully they may be able to help. They are also comming to the US in a month so maybe if they can get any info and bring it with them we can find out more.
