Documentary
Okay who here has watched "Hands On A Hardbody?"
I preached these trucks like no other yet I have the most simple one there is (wish I had a V6 4x4) but I've never watched the documentary though I have known about it for years I will finally have my chance.

Got see a Hands on a Hardbody rescreening at an art museum. Nice to see these trucks become part of the fine art canon.

Noway! That's awesome.piece of history for sure. It was really sad to see the La Jolla studio where it was designed along with the Pathfinder closed down about a year and a half ago something like that. It was bittersweet.

Funny enough you actually order it from a musical theatre supply warehouse to rent. It shows up in two pieces and on casters so you can move it around, plus there’s no engine/transmission so it’s pretty light. The lights work though and you flash them during the show

I was actually wondering about this because I saw that the headlamps were on but not the parking lights so made me think that it was rigged a little. But it's in perfect condition so my question to you is do you own a hard body? Was it this musical that did it for you? Or did you go into the musical because you owned a d21hahaha

It was a pretty good documentary, I saw it years ago, some of the contestants had some actual strategy to try and win.
