Car Mechanic Simulator 2021: Plymouth Fury 'Christine'

Barn Find

For the second of my 'off camera' rebuilds, I taking on a car that is not only iconic but also infamous ... The 1958 Plymouth Fury known as 'Christine'!
 
Another barn find, the Fury is a mod created by Fulysic and includes many features you'll recognise from the film.

Anyway, this is what she looked like when I got her back to the Numpty The Car Fixer garage:
 
As is often the way with Barn finds, the frame and bodywork are in pretty good shape, it's just all the mechanicals that need a lot of work!

Even so, it was nota  cheap acquisition but I'm hoping that some love and care will be rewarded with a healthy profit. 
 
My intention with this project is to restore 'Christine' to her former glory, but with just a little extra power under the bonnet.

The engine was in a sorry state so it was a case of taking it all apart and rebuilding it from scratch.

The restoration keeps the original V8 OHV 6P but with a modest performance increase to the fuel and ignition systems.

As you can see, we achieved a rather nice 40% increase in performance. I used a standard gearbox which may have limited the final top speed, but I think any new owner will be quite happy with what we've done.





As usual, I start the repaint job with the famous Ajaxpost Orange, and it does look good in a number of finishes but, remembering that this is 'Christine' here, we should check out the official Christine livery as well.

The mottled red looks good but, to be honest, I much prefer a solid red colour.so that's what I go with in the end, though I do resist the temptation to go 'chrome'!  Check out the short video below to see the colour selection process I went through.

Finally, the last thing to check for any prospective buyers, the top speed our restored beauty can achieve.

Check the short video below to see what our improved V8 engine delivered.
 

And with all our testing done, we need a few publicity photos and we can sell or lovely 'Christine' for a nice fat profit!

The New Blog

Hi, while my YouTube channel is still quite small (less than 1,000 subscribers, etc.) I can't use the built-in YouTube features to actively engage with you, the lovely folk who watch, comment, and subscribe to my channel. As I am already sort of familiar with Blogger I though I would open up a new space here specifically linked to the YouTube channel but one that allows me to share stuff other than my game videos and can also be somewhere for all of us to exchange thoughts and ideas about the channel or anything else that pops into our minds. So ... if you're not into using Twitter or Instagram to communicate, or find them too limiting, or are strange enough to want to read more of my long-winded thoughts and observations then ... WELCOME! Now, if you're new to my channel or maybe just curious about who the heck I am please check out the links in the title bar which might give you some insight ... or might not. ;) You can use the Subscribe option in the title bar
