His latest project was installing a Liberty Walk widebody on an first gen Acura NSX for Fitment Industries.  Nick has also worked alongside Akira Nakai on the very popular RWB Porsche builds.  Nick recently announced that he will do car repair and fabrication for one more year only. While the specifics of that declaration is not in this episode,  Nick steps through his life and how he got to this point of being that 25 year old that is flown across the country for custom work.   Find out why being behind the wheel of 1-2 million dollar dream cars at times is not enough to counter the demons of his personal life.  This is Nick's journey, this is Nick's story.
