The ECTO-1X

It's…it's like an actual 21st Century ECTO-1. Everything's there, yet it's all been ‘miniaturized’, in keeping with technology's forward stride.

And, since you're Florida Ghostbusters, I can just picture you guys getting out of your Ectomobile, putting on your sunglasses, and…

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!

i cant say that i like the basic vehilcle, but i like the end result! for my taste the sides are to empty! something red to imitate the wings would do good! (i know its not a 1959 cadillac but some modern lines/stripes/grafics fitting the natural lines of the car)

Mostly stuff people throw away…

I don't usually say this, but, that is freakin awesome! Good job.

I don't usually say this, but, thank you!

Love what you did with the tank.

That's the liquid nitrogen cooling system for the Ectotron Computer System… or maybe it's just a reusable jug from a water cooler…

Actually that's exactly how I exit the car each time!

I did not like the HHR either at first but it really grew on me as I conceptualized it as an Ecto. I'd have to say, it's a really nice car to drive as well. And I agree about the sides being empty, my original design was to have a red triangle running along the sides and over the back brake lights to simulate the red fins from the original Ecto-1. I even found on an aftermarket parts site a set of retro styled fins for the HHR but they were ridiculously expensive and still looked a little out-of-place. I still intend to have the simulated fins painted on by a professional when I can afford to even look into it.

Thanks for all the feedback guys, and check out http://www.onscreencars.com where the ECTO-1X is featured in the site's first article on “fan made rides”:

Weight reduction is always good. Dean down in Tucson that built the Ecto-1A replica used an actual steel tank on the roof and had to reinforce it like crazy. Later he discovered the one on the real car wasn't steel.
