I’ve had in my stash for years but have never built, the Lil Coffin, wanting to get as close to the real car as I could I googled the car and found lots of pics of it ,built pretty box stock and adding no extra details , only thing I did change was the tires to the black wall rear slicks and thin white wall tires up front, didn’t really see any early 60’s pictures of the car with the wide white tires that are on the restored Lil Coffin except on model car boxes, did the interior as close to the early pics I found with gold and pearl white and the outside of the car was painted a gold base and a candy brandy wine with 4 coats of 2K clear , all and all a nice quick build taking about 2 weeks, not sure why I never built this before but now glad to have this in my show case ! Thanks for looking guys !!!

starting with a sealed 1990 issue of the orange hauler show car but as the first version the ULTRA TRUCK, first I googled pics of this truck and tried to figure out what color this would be , not many pics to be found , I found a few color and a few more black and white, color pics not a lot of help, best as could figure would be a mix of candy orange, flake, and a lot of silver pearl, so that’s what I did plus adding a pearl white fade on the motor cover, topped off with 3 coats of clear, same color I added to the interior parts along with pearl white, The Ultra Truck version also had different tires than the later monogram Orange Hauler version, this is another kit over the years I’ve never built but I’ve only used for it parts , glad I finally did build it , this is a super awesome kit , I’ll probably never build it again but very happy to have it in my show case !! Hope you like!

I just built the lil coffin so I wanted my next build to be in the same starbird custom shop family so I chose the Predicta show car , I got this kit from a buddy out in California, a nice sealed 1990 issue kit , first time for me to ever build this kit as it is meant to be build, I’ve over the years use this kit many times for parts for other custom builds , built pretty much box stock except for wheels and tires , not sure when the real car lost its big white wall tires but I found pictures of it with the narrow white walls , chrome wheels with babymoons, I really like that look so that’s what I went with, after molding a few body parts I sprayed a mix of silver and candy blue as a base for the 6 coats of candy blue and 3 coats of clear, this kit came together very nicely which is probably why it was a big hit with 12 year old boys in 1964 ,there never seems to be a shortage of 1960’s built glue bombs on eBay, I did have a problem with the bubble top though which is why it will sit just like it does in the pics never ever to be opened with out a screwdriver!!! Lol , all in all cool kit , and glad to finally build a predicta to put in my display case , hope you like !!!

Very cool!! I really like the idea of saving old builds , especially 60’s custom, a little piece of our model car history, nice save !!!
