gjorenby Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 The infamous 1958 Plymouth Fury known as Christine! Build using the AMT Christine kit, I upgraded to the Golden Commando engine taken out of a 1957 Chrysler 300C kit to match the movie images, correctly positioned the distributor and added the plug wires. Headlights, taillights, dash and radio are all lit by LEDs. Enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdhog Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 That's cool! It kinda scares me a little with that dash lit up like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flat32 Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 LED lighting is a real nice feature IMHO. Have you done more with LED's?? Include a license light next time. Looks like it should be in the Under Glass section. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gjorenby Posted June 14, 2020 Author Share Posted June 14, 2020 Thanks all! I have done some other LED work on the BTTF Delorean and the Millennium Falcon. Both are at my work office so I can't get them for photos due to Covid precautions, will post later. Lots of really thin FO in those. Christine is pretty straight forward with a small LED in each headlight, tail light and two in the dash. Wiring is all internal to the build so its not seen, and then exits under the car just inside the rear wheel so its barely visible. I used a connector so I can "unplug" the car if I want to display it differently. The battery and switch are under the base. I wanted to be able to replace the battery and at that scale, its hard to build it into the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
