Hunchback is one of Australiaβs most recognisable customs due to its unusual morphing of HT Monaro and HT panel van. A mammoth project undertaken by paint and body whiz Steven Wilson in the 70s and early 80s, Hunchback appeared in a number of guises, including gloss black with flames, candy apple red with murals, and finally silver with candy graphics, before disappearing from the show scene in the mid-80s.
Extensive full-steel modifications included a flip front, one-piece tailgate and guard flares, while the LTD tail-light conversion was one of the first to find its way onto a custom van. The tunnel-rammed 350 Chev was eventually fitted to the late Pat Fayβs Humpy Mekka FJ hearse.
