The 58 Hillman





This is my brother Ken's 58 hillman husky. He bought this and put a camaro subframe in it and a small block 302.I painted it and later, bought it and then I put in a 454. One time I let my friend Ralph drive it and he put the frame through the radiator. Then I sold it to another friend, Spanky. He had me paint it orange and put a ford 429 in it. After Spanky passed away, my brother, Ken, bought it again. It would turn 11's in the quarter mile.

more about my shorty Chev truck


Sorry about the image. It's the only ones I have. This is a 73 Chevy with a 454 and a 400 Trans.I cut out 3 feet of the frame and shorten the bed. People thought it was super charged. Because you touch the gas and the tires spin.I traded it to Ralph so I could get my shorty 67 wagon back. I'm now building a new shorty truck. It's a 75 Chevy with a 350. And I still have the 67 shorty wagon.

More Amazing Acrylics

This is my dream car that I hope to be able to drive again someday

 This is a 1965 Corvair 4 door shortened into a 2 door. It has a small block 350 Chevy. Back in the 1970's. This was one of the fastest street cars in Utah. It turned the mid 9 seconds in Bakersfield, California. It was built by a fiend of mine, Wayne Sudweeks and he sold it to another friend of mine, Warren Walker. When Warren owned it, he wrecked it and then tore it apart and then I bought it from him. I didn't do anything with it and then sold it to another friend of mine, Ralph Finlinson. He completely rebuilt the car, Painted it beige and then red and then put it in a movie called "Gold Runner". He took it apart, painted it blue and sold it to another guy who I bought it back from. I'm in the process of rebuilding it.
