I know a few of you guys made your own Christine car from the red 57 Plymouth Zinger that JL made. But for most of us, the problem was getting a hood color that matched the rest of the car, a daunting task! Now, JL has released a 57 Plymouth in its Coke Family Fun collection, and it has a red hood that is a perfect match to the red on the Plymouth Zinger. I made my Christine in under 1 hour, and it came out excellent, IMO. Here is the hood on the Coke car, just remove a simple tampo and you have your new hood: ![]() I started with the Zinger body. Then I used a 57 Plymouth chassis and tires from a donor JL 57 Plymouth: ![]() The new hood has all the silver trim on it that all the other JL 57 Plymouths have. The final result is a clean looking Christine. ![]() The best part is that you don't need to go buy some spray paint and 'hope' that the color matches. This car is super easy to make now. |

The Mustang II is a Mustang too!

Looks good! I would have never taken notice of the Coca-Cola car at all! And is it me, or does it look like Christine's "eyes" (headlights) are glowing in the above picture? |

I have the 'Christine' model from the earliest days of Playing Mantis. It came in black. Make a good banger, Sean!
