Everything Wrong with my Ecto-1

[@DEFALT_HORROR]

I only nitpick when people say they have an exact replica when its not. I love when people make their own versions like this. Looks amazing

[@invertedpizza7662]

Honestly even with the inaccuracies its still a wonderful and beautiful car. Its a unique ecto for a unique ghostbuster.

[@aaronwaltrip1035]

Brother......do not worry about what Anyone else says. What matters is that anywhere you go...everyone knows what this is. You are inspiring great childhood memories from everyone who see this. It looks Fantastic! And what is more...this came from your heart. You are helping to keep the dream alive. Dan Aykroyd would be proud. If ANYONE has the right to pick this apart, it would be him. And Trust me...to Him...you are keeping his dream and ideology alive. Keep at this, man. Well done!!! What a beautiful thing to see.

[@CubeCarl]

One thing I enjoy about any Ecto-1, despite it having many differences to the OG, is that it always has a TON of personality. I see Ecto-1's people make using something like a modern van and it still looks great to me. I can't help but love the craftmanship that goes into any Ecto-1, no matter the inaccuracies and I've seen so much support from fans all around. Even though your car isn't an exact replica, I still can't help but enjoy it as much as the actual Ecto-1.

[@donbrewer3904]

I agree, this is a very true statement.

[@willielogan4811]

Yeah, Chicago Ghostbusters uses some modern black SUV. Still makes everyone smile when they pull up.

[@barryismygod]

Different branches have different vehicles that’s how I look at it .

[@Newsmonkevr]

You are crazy

[@katobrucelee08]

This guys love for Ghostbusters being re-ingnited by the new film is one of the best things

[@ColumbusMarriott]

Dude, your video the other day was gold! Stay with the genuine nature!

[@waylonmartin5662]

I've seen vans, cars, trucks and others modified into Ecto tribute vehicles. All are really cool. I have a suburban that I've been thinking about ecto-converting. It's all about the love of the films. I dig your car man, and can't wait to see more.

[@Jakedman21]

There’s a guy around here who has, I think, a green Kia Soul, as an Ecto-1. No emergency lights on top besides maybe small amber colored ones. Still awesome to see. The fact that you and your father even took the time to find an old Cadillac, and make it what it is now, is extremely impressive. I want to make an Ecto-1A, and for a while I was researching what was on the roof, trying to find a ‘59 or a ‘60, but the reality is, those cars are almost impossible to come by, and if you do they are really expensive, need a lot of maintenance, or both. Don’t let people criticize you for having inaccuracies. You’re not a giant movie studio with millions of dollars at your disposal, you’re a fan that wanted an Ecto-1. Most people who aren’t die hard fans wouldn’t even notice. They see the logos, they see the roof rack, and they are happy. At the end of the day, all that matters is you get pride and enjoyment out of the project you made. You did an amazing job, I didn’t even notice most of the inaccuracies until you pointed them out. And again, who cares? It’s still incredible

[@fenekin6034]

Hey, look the good side. You have an Ecto-1 with al the system, even the front lights. This is better than others

[@bootsontheground1388]

Honestly for a bunch of kids just making this car for their own movie it looks pretty badass. No complaints here, my 8 year old boy loves anything Ghostbusters including your ECTO 1. Your daughter will love it too. Anyone who picks at the inaccurate build is bored with their life. Thank you for the updates, it's real cool of you to invite us in on your journey.

[@unfinishedstudios]

Thanks for that.

[@BlurayBen]

Awesome video and congratulations on an awesome replica. Much like a cosplay Proton Pack have fun with it, make it unique, that's the fun part!!!

[@skeletorscollection433]

I’m happy with mine with all its imperfections, your car is fantastic looking and I’m sure it brings a lot of joy to people who see it. Good work man!

[@gatoreye2000]

I just want to see you cruising around town putting smiles on peoples faces. the car is amazing.

[@ajarms86]

It's brilliant!! who actually cares if its not exactly the same as the original film, it looks great and I'm sure brings joy to anyone who encounters it!

[@TrenchcoatSteve]

I bet this car puts a smile on everyone's face who sees it and that's what really matters. To anyone who nitpicks this awesome replica, how accurate is YOUR Ecto-1?

[@willgillies5670]

Anal retentives who nitpick suck.

[@G.reviewz]

My ecto 1 is SO ACCURATE IT DOESNT EVEN EXIST!!!

[@PapaFozzy]

I can imagine if there were Ghostbusters franchises that they would've used whatever large multi passenger vehicles were available. Pay the franchise fee and provide some of your own equipment that isn't conducive to finding and capturing ghost.

[@juanvargas-qz6vd]

Hey man don't beat ur self up, it's a great looking ecto 1 we all wish we had one just like yours to admire every day, don't let jealousy stop u from enjoying and showing off ur ecto

[@Ghostbuster_Webs]

You're wrong sir, your Ecto 1 is FREAKING AMAZING in all respects!!! I'm willing to bet people love that car and it brings everyone a smile...the ones that don't and nitpick just forget about them

[@madcyril4135]

From u.k. Don’t be so tough on yourself! You seem like a grounded down to earth bloke that done his best. Bloody difficult to replicate stuff, tools, tricks of the trade etc. I’m 66 now loved watching the movie with my two lads when they were young. I will send them this clip, I love anything about U.S. autos I was lucky enough to work in a Cadillac engine plant here in u.k. for ten yrs. Enjoyed it. Take care

[@unfinishedstudios]

Thank you, sir! I appreciate the comment!

[@madcyril4135]

@@unfinishedstudios You are welcome Take care.

[@cpmario97227]

Have you seen the people that build ecto’s out of crappy sedans? Your car is fantastic, and even if it’s inaccurate to the original movie, it’s damn near exact to an equally awesome fan film, not to mention it’s got a great story behind it. If I saw this thing out and about, the LAST thing I’d do was nitpick over some details. Keep up the great work that you do

[@aussiefurbymogwaifan6621]

And it's a *PROFESSIONAL* *CAR*

[@SmokeandLights]

Dude, your car rocks. It's got the fan spirit. You and your Dad did a great job with it, and it sounds like you're still working hard on it. Keep it up. I'd love to know if you're ever down in ATL with it.

[@unfinishedstudios]

I appreciate that!

[@niceargument]

doesn't matter if it's inaccurate still looks beautiful

[@Newsmonkevr]

First thing wrong:EVERYTHING!

[@mikemchubner6928]

you built this project to please yourself not anybody else! your workmanship and creativity speak for itself!! I'm sure your daughter wont be able to wipe the smile off her face when you take her for a drive!

[@Pohleece222]

You all did a great job, don’t beat yourself up!

[@DanielS2001]

I know people complain about the inaccuracies for your Ecto, but honestly, I think it looks great. The thing to take into account, for different franchises outside of the Ghistbusters in New York would have different vehicles that would be available to them (much like the original Ecto). So, if anything, you've made an Ecto for a Georgia franchise. I've seen an Ecto made with a Dodge Magnum, as well as other vehicles. Yours is unique to you, and that is why it's awesome. :D

[@lunamaria1048]

This is awesome! Very nice replica of a childhood icon!

[@unfinishedstudios]

Thank you!

[@kennonnazerian1993]

Barrow County is close to where I live! I live in Gilmer County GA!

[@DavenHiskey]

Ghostbusters fan: good man great job, I enjoyed every min

[@RFrancisMurillo]

Actually I just bought a 1965 Cadillac Ambulance/Hearse myself, so I applaud your effort! I've had many conversations with classic cars enthusiasts and yes, the '59 Meteor Miller is all but impossible to find, especially with the Afterlife movie hype. Still, I look forward to my project (and it has a spotlight installed!). Hey, we make it work and it brings a lot of happiness to those who see it rolling down the street!

[@unfinishedstudios]

Nice! Enjoy it!

[@Wackymushrooms]

*Screen accurate or not, that car is beautiful.*

[@daniel-san-augh]

It’s cool that you went and did this vid to show the inaccuracies and stuff but I think the ppl that pull up just to nit pic that stuff are just jealous that they ain’t got a fly ride like yours lol

[@vaagamundt4869]

If it makes you happy, great! There are a TON of people who would love your replica. Be proud man, you said it makes SO many people happy when they see it. That's what it's all about.

[@yankee4424]

It’s a great looking car. Other than the headlights I would have never noticed any of the other inaccuracies.

[@spamanator666]

Why worry about people crying about inaccuracies? To start it is a totally different car, so some inaccuracies don't even matter.

[@jakebush4749]

Frickn awesome man. I bet your daughter loved it whenever she took her first ride. You did great!

[@furiousfill4593]

So What , you have an awesome Ecto

[@lisambutler8166]

I know that everything about that car is bugging you sometimes, but lemme tall you, IT LOOKS FRIKIN AWSOME. My dream has been to make a ghostbusters e to mobile with my dad for a long time. And I think that’s truly special that you were able to build that with your dad at the age of 16. Best luck to you, and keep on making some awesome memories.

[@berniedavis6676]

love the video. it's hard to get screen-accurate stuff to make homemade props, in general, and when other fans buy them all up. we all have to deal with what we can get our hands-on, and most of the time most people won't know the difference.

[@j.p.madsen6693]

Super well done, be proud that you did it from that time.👍

[@ADHDMagician]

Dude, you and your dad did a fantastic job. Be proud!

[@chekengyong5032]

Well done! It's your Ecto 1! Not much people can say they have an Ecto!

[@unfinishedstudios]

True!

[@rookscastle3951]

Considering you built this car when you were a kid, you did a great job. Better than anything I built when I was14! Looking forward to seeing videos of your other Ecto build.

[@dragon_ninja_2186]

I know some will always nitpick and want screen accuracy perfection, but I’m of the belief that as long as I can look at something (in this case the Ecto-1) and say “hey it’s blah blah blah from blah blah blah, then good enough. Considering yours is homemade I call it awesome!

[@arthurok327]

I think you did a great job, and I gotta point out, you did this on your own, with your own money, unlike the movie which had multi millionaire producers, and Hollywood studios, backing the build of the original Ecto-1, so you have nothing to apologize for, Period.. Great job !! Peace

[@tomisham9900]

I think the car looks fantastic! you used what you could get to make it look like Ecto-1 and did a great job. Now that you have the 1960 M&M Ambulance you have a second chance to make it even closer to the original.

[@starion871]

Thanks for showing off your Ecto-1

Don't let people bother you buddy. Enjoy you car it's amazing and I would kill to have have it. Be proud of it I would be 👍

For the people nit picking bis car. You wish you had it.... I know I did.

[@narcolepticsleepsman]

As long as it stops people randomly, wanting to take pictures with it and making random people smile then you did good , honestly, it's neat to see different renditions of individuals Ecto1's 🤘🤘🤘🙂🙂🙂🤘🤘🤘 I love when people think outside of the box and make their own Ecto1 or Ecto vehicle of some kind in one way or another even if it isn't screen accurate etc etc can turn any vehicle into a Ghostbusters vehicle of some kind 🙂🙂 hope you're not beating yourself up too much over this. You did good the work shows , dont lose sleep over it , make it how you want to make it 🙂 and put your own spin to it , individuality is just as awesome as a screen accurate movie Prop, but it is wicked cool when a movie inspired Prop has the artist's/prop maker's individual signature personality into it too 🙂🙂🙂

[@Kal824]

I'm telling you man... I said it before, and I'll say it again. 3D PRINTING!!!, lol. I have ideas on how that could work. Please let me know if you'd like to hear it?

This car is awesome!! Most of what you pointed out 95% of even the most diehard ghostbusters fans wouldn’t know what in accurate.

[@genethegeeklilgeek9906]

Don’t listen to trolls! Your Ecto is fine! You made it your own! People are just jealous that you have an Ecto and they don’t. I wish I had one even close to what you have it would be nice!

[@andrewhartley2528]

You've got an ecto 1! That's more than a lot of the so called experts have. It made me smile and I bet it's made thousands of other people do the same. The rivet counters can stick there options where the sun don't shine

I was looking at a 64 miller meteor Cadillac when I was in high school. It had a rusted out floor and fenders, and the fins were just about rusted through. I’m glad I have the 74 Oldsmobile ambulance I have now, but some part of me wishes I bought that 64 caddy. It would’ve made a fine ectomobile. Good luck with yours 🤘🏼

[@Gadgetman1989]

Bro as someone who's a fan your car is still gorgeous, idk how inaccurate yours is, it's a wonderful car, and if your minis happy then even more awesome and amazing

[@legothoron1]

I see it as a good mix of the original Ecto 1, Ecto 1-A, and the one from the 2016 Ghostbusters

[@finnickrinzler8907]

It looks great. I hate when people are obsessed with screen accuracy. It doesn't matter. What matters are the memories with you built with your dad.

[@ardiekepoo744]

As a Ghosthead, I say who gives a crap it’s NOT AN ACCURATE ACTUAL ECTO-1 REPLICA...it looks really awesome and close to the movie roof rack equipment... as for the car, not the right year, but it IS A CADILLAC. Even this year model is hard to find... ‘59s are not plentiful and easy at all to obtain... this car is a true fan made car... very awesome. So to you purists who are slamming on this guy and other GB fandom, shut up or put up, correct what you think is a problem and find one ‘59 M&M for that person to purchase so they can MAKE A MOVIE ACCURATE ECTO-1. ‘Nuff said. 👻👍🏼

[@JOHNSMITH-dc6lr]

Ur attention to detail is embarrassingly close enough to the actual movie car which I'll take any hat off to u sir!!! , not to mention the individual pro items are insanely expensive, I'm building an ecto3 for GB3 from a 96 caprice wagon and have alottttttt of space fillers with plastic rediculas mock items, it busted me over $20k so I won't dare ask where ur money went here, I just don't care for world fans that don't even come close by having a wagon period or even a white paint job or any kind of roof rack, half assing is one thing but not even trying putting a few bux in it and driving on the street, I'm sry but loyal fans are 100% not mistaken, I won't dress or have interior detail but outter flash, but again u got my respect bro!!!

[@unfinishedstudios]

I agree - what's most annoying is when someone has a '59 or a '60 and puts random crap on top -- or leaves the trim on the side.
