Supercharged and super-clean, the car was put together based on solid old-school principles. “I love the 80s pro-street look,” Justin says. “I’m a fan of stock colours on cars, tubbed rear ends with big rear tyres, and skinny fronts.”
As you might have guessed, Justin is a guy who doesn’t like to throw the baby out with the bathwater. As such, his process for attaining such an immaculate finish on his HK was a gradual one of improvement and enhancement.
“I bought it as a running car with a 396ci small-block Chev,” he explains. “It was an original car, except it had been mini-tubbed and the previous owner had it resprayed to tidy it up. My first stop was to have the paint corrected and ceramic-coated at Picarsso Australia in Geelong to get it up to scratch.”
With his white-over-Inca Gold HK now looking spiffy on the outside, Justin’s next stop was the supercharger shop en route to the drag strip.
