Project Hardbody, as the name suggests, pays homage to one of the most iconic Nissan trucks ever, the Nissan D21 'Hardbody.' It was the first truck design completed at NDA.

'It is still unmistakable on the road as a pure, modern design, even today,' said Patel. The

'Hardbody' name came from its double-wall bed and aggressive stance and was a champion in on- and off-road in competitions and on the beaches of Southern California.

Project Hardbody is built on a 2022 Frontier Crew Cab SV 4x4. It features a 3-inch lift kit with adjustable upper control arms, overfenders from the current PRO-4X model, classic Hardbody block-style wheels designed and milled at NDA mounted with 33-inch tires, bed- mounted spare tire carrier, sport bar with modern 10-inch rectangular LED lights, blacked- out front end and door graphics with '80s-style shadow outlining.
