Today at Badgerworks, we make a start on a new project, the 1958 Plymouth Fury from the 1983 film "Christine". In part one, we'll start building the car and figure out how we're going to light the thing to recreate the iconic movie poster.

Incredible job!! I love that car!! One thing I wish someone would do is recreate how Christine looked after the bullies gave her a “Cleveland Steamer”.

@SteamGeezerUK 4 месяца назад

I saw a fantastic build once where someone had done half the car new and half bashed, it looked amazing. I only saw one small photo of it on Facebook though.

Oh my days, my favourite American car 😉👌

@hensleyshobbies-doug7761 Год назад

Some of the 58 Plymouth fury's in the movie had the Golden Commando 350 w/dual four barrels and it's a big block Mopar and should have distributor in front, but I read too that some of the cars had a 318 with dual four's and a 318 is a small block and the Mopar small blocks had distributor in the back. Now I'm not a Mopar expert but I've worked on enough cars in my life to know enough to keep me from being stranded on the side of the road for very long, know what I mean? I'm 63 years old and I still learn stuff everyday, practically. Anywho, rock on 🤘 man, rock on! I'll be watching! 🤙✌️

"Show me." 👍👍👍

@theintake8961 Год назад

Great kit! Thanks for the video 😎👍

@kiwiruna9077 Год назад

YAY. I'm following along and a great way to start the day. I hope there's going to be a dent or three, Christine needs dents. Also the time is right for a limited run TV adaptation of the book.

@shadowslayer0420 Год назад

Actually the Fury and Belvedere were both available in 2 or 4 door. In the book, Christine was a 4 door Fury. Old american cars treated model names similarly to how we use trim levels now. Example: In 1964 you could get either a Biscayne, Bel Air or Impala. They all had the same body, but came with different chrome trim, interior and engine options. Hopefully that clears things up

@SteamGeezerUK Год назад

I didn't know that, cheers :-)

@ianthomson9363 Год назад

I'm not really into American cars but I enjoyed this video and learned some useful tips. I agree about the use of red plastic- it only complicates things. Grey is much better!

@rolandbee2791 Год назад

Really like the look of this one - top notch presentation looking forward to part 2

@iamian7226 Год назад

Really looking forward to the end product of this, great project for the channel 👍

@tomkroebel4936 11 месяцев назад

Firstly congratulations on your awesome accurate job! You're absolutely right about the double air filter issue. I think the kit is wrong because AMT simply used their older Plymouth Belvedere kit (notice the "Belvedere" labels still on the model) and just put it into a new box together with an additional sticker sheet. As I'm currently starting to build this model your videos greatly helped me to plan the necessary modifications I will do!

@SteamGeezerUK 11 месяцев назад

Glad to be of assistance :-)

@MikeUSA67 Год назад

This is a great build, and I'm anxious to see how it turns out!

@williamault2490 Год назад

Great video mate!!! I’ve got that car in the stash to build, and you’ve just helped solve a few issues with where the bits are supposed to fit on the undercarriage!!! Greetings from across the pond!! Congratulations to Katie for her marks in maths!! I’m like Winston Churchill in maths I’m afraid, “The numbers do things to one another that are very difficult to forecast!” Enjoyed the video and look forward to the next one, and seeing how this turns out!

@paintnamer6403 Год назад

You did a quick fix for that intake manifold. That is a 318 Poly intake that they mistakenly made. I wish they included the big block with duel quads and the 318 like a lot of kits did back in the day.

@jamesharrington4923 11 месяцев назад

You can get a old Johan big block and graft that onto the transmission, for example the Plymouth fury and Chrysler 300 have wonderful big blocks,😊

@georgetaylor5482 Год назад

Great looking kit, I read it is a hard one to build.

@capatainnemo Год назад

@howardg2435 8 месяцев назад

Is there an accurate 1/25th scale 7 litre 350 Golden Commando engine for the Christine car as an after market set?

@steveparsons268 7 месяцев назад

How did you fit lights in christine as i am.building one but dont no how i should run the wires

@SteamGeezerUK 7 месяцев назад

You can see how I did it in this follow up video, hopefully it helps you out - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-RoOfhcQFtdo.html

I love building model kits. But not cars. My younger brother used to buy them, but have no intention of building the damn things - he'd leave the kit on my bed, knowing that I would make it. Not being particularly interested in American muscle cars, I found them a bit of a chore, frankly.

@SpiderSkot 7 месяцев назад

I'm a little disappointed to see they didn't put the actual Golden Commando engine with the twin air cleaners like the movie car does

@SteamGeezerUK 7 месяцев назад

Me too. It seems this is a bit of a "parts bin" build using bits of existing models and a nice box 🙂

@SpiderSkot 7 месяцев назад

@@SteamGeezerUK I built an AMT Belvedere years ago, before the "Christine" version was released. It's the exact same model, just molded in white. The fact that yours still had the Belvedere badging told me they changed nothing lol. The only other difference I see is the Christine specific license plate decal.

@SteamGeezerUK 7 месяцев назад

That really doesn't surprise me 😂@@SpiderSkot
