Hey everyone, I nearly forgot about this place. It's been so long since I came here to post stuff. It sure looks different from the last time I visited.

I'm heading to see my car this Wednesday. I can take my HD Camera and get some shots for you. Let me know if you need anything.

I know I asked a lot in the past for pictures but I'm basically done with all the modeling now so I can't really think of any parts of the car I still need pictures of. Well actually I could use some pictures of where the steering column goes into the dashboard. I been having some trouble positioning the steering wheel, I always feel like it needs adjusting and would like to see some pictures of it from different angles from inside the car so I can be sure it's in the correct spot.

Right now I'm just finishing up making all the parts around the dashboard area. Which has been extremely difficult due to all the complicating geometry but I just about got it under control now.

If all goes well I should have this done by 2009. We all been waiting so long for this model to be finished but when it final does get finished it will be well worth the wait.

You got it. I'm actually heading out on Sunday instead. So I will make a note of your requests and get you everything you need.

This Sunday on October 5 is when you going to see your car? If so that's great because I'm at a point now where I can't really move much more ahead till I'm sure the steering wheel is set in the right place.

If you want you can post the pictures right here on this thread or send them to me by email. Whatever works best for you.

hi BigMac
great work on the car, looks realy good and matches the 59 miller meteor superbly!
if u need any info about the car (interior, roofrack…..) just tell me!
by the way, what is still to be done?

I'm just putting the steering wheel into the dashboard and then I need to do some other little things around the dashboard.

But I been busy with school and all for a long time now. Last time I actually did work on it was sometime near the end of September. All of October was used up with other stuff and I never got around to working on it.

But this month I plan to get back and finish it up, I hope.

hopefully u will finish ecto1 someday,
because im sick of the available one !
i just tryed to add the roofrack from the vc fbi conversion on this vehicle, but the txt bugs a lot! and if it would work, it would never be as acurate as what i have seen here!
keep up the good work and post some pics when progressing!

Today I finally did some work on the car. It's been so long that I had to actually look at the program for a minute to refresh myself to how it all works.

Are you talking about that ECTO-1 that was for GTA San Andreas, if so I feel your pain. I downloaded that car and was very disappointed with the car's detail and accuracy. Other than that ECTO-1 and the one that's for GTA Vice city I don't know of any other ECTO-1 car mods for GTA.

But I'm sure the ECTO-1 I'm making will be better than any other ECTO-1 out there for free download.

it will be the best i have seen till today ( includes non-free downloads ) !

now some kritcal:
i am afrait, but i dont like the chrome on the car!
from what i can see on all the pics here, i think the chrome should be a bit darker, or use an other chromeshader!
especially in the areas where the chrome is direct next to the white it is hard to tell the difference!, i would say, u put the vehicle like it is now in the game so we can see the chrome in the “real” wolrd! maybe my fears were caused of taking the pics out of the renderer!

by the way, im working on an proton pack for san andreas
the pack is complete, only the gun (wand) and the hose witch connects the two things left! if u like u can have it and put in in the rear of the ecto 1! but be aware it its created in 3ds max!

before i forget:
it would also be cool, if there is an non ghostbusters version of this car to replace the romero.
think about it, it is such an beautyfull vehicle!

The chrome will look different in the game. All the colors you see on the car now are not final. I'll be adjusting colors on the car till they look good in the game. Things look different in the game than they do in the program.

Don't worry about the car not looking good. I have at least 4 years of GTA modding and 3D modeling experience so I know exactly what I'm doing, I'm good at this stuff. I insure that you will not be disappointed with the looks of the car when it's all done and in the game.

I plan to do many things with the car when it's done. There will be an original version like you said plus the ECTO-1A plus a custom Ghostbusters car that I'm going to design with my own ideas.

i never said u are not good in this stuff, u are an exelent modeller for what i see!

i alway played with the idea of having an ecto 1A too! ( i think i mentioned it earlyer on an other forum to u)

the idea is more for gta san andreas, when driving the “regular” car in an tuner u can decide wich version u want to drive! u can also mix the paint job with the roofracks and the red wings is an 2. choosable color! ( this is also a solution to avoid having more than one ecto 1 on the streat)
we schould keep that in mind!

do u need an proton pack? it is ready now!
