To do a RGB would be a lot of hard work and more expensive if you do it correctly inside and out.
Yes, very true. But so is an ECTO-1! screen accurate props take time, money and love to produce. its not an easy task.
chad, any word on the rear skirts yet?
im gone.

2: Are you adding all the cool gadgets like in the RGB? The radio, with and all the electronics on the dash, Traps that came from the sides of the roof, a proton cannon on the middle of the roof. None of this is planed it it?

Those would be impractical… not to mention, the real car doesn't have them, so why put them in?

I was gonna stay for the Nostaligia factor. But It'll be fine either way.

1: A Proton Pack Rack will be added I assume, will proton pack be added to that?

Absolutely. As a matter of fact, I'm going to start building my first pack this winter. I haven't ever propped before, the Ecto-1 will be my first task (started, of course, not completed). My motto is “start big”.

I really liked your RGB pack and, as you may or may not know, I'm a HUGE RGB fan. That being said, I'm basing my car off of the Ecto-1 in the original film. If nothing else, because the Ecto-1 in RGB wasn't that different from the one in the movie. The main difference is the various functionality they added to it on various episodes. This made it cool, indeed. However, just like any cartoon, things weren't entirely consistent and it would be hard to determine what should stay and what should go.

Lmao. Winston and Ray put everytihng in it in the cartoon. I'm suprised it didn't have buzzsaws, and power jacks, and.. wait this isn't the speed racer forum!

No seriously, Chad have you found sirens yet?

He just got the car give him some time please and to let you know the siren you hear was made by Columbia Pictures.

There's a few ways he could get the sound from the movie. He could buy one of those recorders and play the sound through its siren. It wouldnt look the same, but which is better? The look of the siren or the sound? I'd personally rather roll through town with that thing blaring then sit through a crappy regular one that looks good.

Actully next time Chad is on AIM im going to send him Mp3s of the siren he can use. Just some advice folks dont play the siren inless your in park and dont put on the blue lights inless your in park.
