James Smith: 1996 Nissan Hardbody

James Smith and his fellow club members like to think outside the box and do things you don't see very often, and that idea is what gave birth to his project 1996 Nissan Hardbody. Built out of a 2-car garage, the truck is meant to show people they don't have to be scared to try and do something crazy.
