Ghostbusters: Afterlife Ecto-1 Build Part 2

[@rickloera9468]

I am so glad to see you save this car. Ghost Busters After Life was a great movie that was such a compliment to the original 1984 Ghost Busters.

Can't wait to see these projects get finished! Great stuff! This is the definition of an "underrated channel"

Bon Courage! I am green with envy right now, coz you'll end up with 3 ectomobiles!!!

[@theroberts9572]

Really Appreciate the update. And don't let people get to you on the Ecto's that are not 59's. They don't probably realize what it takes to find one, let alone the initial buy in plus mods.

[@superultimatexlrfire462]

@@unfinishedstudios I could imagine how easy things would be if you could. And also, the 2011 fanfilm you worked on(Or whenever it came out) holds a special place in my heart as one of the earliest fanfilms of anything related to pop culture that i've watched. I hope you can get as many people back for it from the first one as you can

[@unfinishedstudios]

Hey thanks, that means a lot! We're working on it. We're spread all around the country now, and everyone has families and careers. The screenplay I wrote accommodates that as much as it could, but it's a challenge. The main thing I'm doing right now is building all the sets, vehicles, and props/costumes -- but I've got some other film projects I want to finish before diving too heavily into that.

[@BillGuldenschuh]

It would be absolutely amazing if you could get the original Ghostbusters cast and Jason Reitman to autograph the dash once it's finished. He'd love it.

[@jacksprofessionalproductio9403]

Bit of an unpopular opinion here, but I don’t think the Ecto having having a gunner seat is the BEST idea for mobile ghostbusting. I mean it makes the car 4 to 5 feet wider, turning corners are more difficult and 1 wrong move and the gunner is slammed into on-coming traffic. Technically it would make more sense to modify the red sniffer antenna on the roof rack into a proton cannon and have it be remote controlled from the inside with a monitor. Now this is just me being beyond nit picky and nerdy, honestly I think it’s super cool that you’re stepping up to the challenge to build this version of the car. Since this is an Ecto I don’t too many fans replicating in the future. It’s also great that your car is in a state where you can do pretty much anything to it structure wise, that way you don’t have to tear up and heavily modify a pristine/structurally intacted car. Wish you the best of luck on this car, the other cars and your upcoming sequel fan film.

[@unfinishedstudios]

As always, I appreciate the positive vibes! I agree that it wouldn't be practical in the real world. Too many things could go wrong. It's especially weird that the backwards jumpseat is the one that spins around to be the gunner. It's a lot better than that terrible roof-mounted thing on the Kenner toy, though!

[@glennmanocchio9934]

You should do more videos....your easy to list to and you seem to have a knack for it. Please show lots of ecto stuff.

I wish so much that I could find a 59 or even a 60 miller meteor I've tried looking bu I'm in the mode that I'll probably never find one that I'll be able to afford. So happy you found this one, no idea how you found it though lol

[@unfinishedstudios]

Hey thanks! You just have to look ALL THE TIME. And have other people looking. This thing popped up on my dad's Facebook as "1960 Chevrolet"

[@jacksprofessionalproductio9403]

Here’s a good tip I’ve developed; when looking for these mid 50s and early 60s hearses and ambulances, look for older listings that have the owners phone number in the description. If you’re lucky they may still have the car, but more often than not they had sold it a few years ago. BUT, the owner may be a collector of hearses/ambulances. And I have found 2 guys on the East coast who collect these cars for a living. So, when I’m financially ready I know who and where to go to, to buy my Ecto-1.

The main Ecto-1A was repurposed as one of the three Ecto-1's used in afterlife. I'm so glad about that! Love seeing these cars being restored or at least made to run again & be used.

[@unfinishedstudios]

Same. I wish I knew which one it was. I sat in that car once upon a time.

[@jacksprofessionalproductio9403]

@@unfinishedstudios the only way I know how to tell which Wrecto-1 is the 1A, is look closely at the front bumper. The 1A has pilot holes and a cut out grille section for the orange light on the driver side.

[@unfinishedstudios]

@@jacksprofessionalproductio9403 From people I've talked to, I'm pretty sure the 1A was the car you see driving and/or sitting for most of the movie. Like the main car they used. The others were either for stunts, interiors, or for the extended gunner chair stuff.

[@batarang87]

I wonder if that car will ever get restored back into ECTO-1A now that Afterlife is complete and has been released.

[@jacksprofessionalproductio9403]

@@batarang87 I sure hope so. Although history has shown that Sony aren’t the best caretakers when it comes to their cars. At one point, both the Ecto-1 and 1A were on the verge to be scrapped, but luckily they we’re saved in 2009 for the release of the video game. Ecto-1 got completely restored, but they gave up on restoring 1A. My guess is that after ghostbusters afterlife’s popularity dies down, that car is gonna go right back on the lot and rust away even more. Us ghostheads NEED to save that car, if 2 brothers were able to save one of the Back to the future part 3 Deloreans, then I’m sure a few dedicated and wealthy ghostheads can save the Ecto-1A.

[@t.p.hproductionstudio4652]

Nice! Keep up the good work! I’m excited to see the finished product! My question is: how much did it cost you for all these cars?

[@unfinishedstudios]

Not a ton. When you do most of the work yourself, it's... cheaper. I will say the '65 was $800 when we originally got it. It was all the money I had to spend on it, and when the dude said, "I'll take $800 for her" -- I yelled, "We'll take it!" not unlike Ray Stantz. My dad has never let me forget it. Probably would've gone for like $400.

[@lo_fye]

I saw an ecto maker fill the back windows with metal or plastic?, then apply black vinyl to it so they looked like super-tinted windows. That could help you “replace” the glass.

I'm usually pretty particular about keeping origanal, but seeing how *bad* this thing is, I don't care what you do with any of those cars as long as they don't go to a scrap heap. Please don't scrap any of those things. The money you could get from parts is probably more money than the effort of hauling it off. Anyway, great project! I just hope that someone can restore one of those so that we aren't just left with replica cars. I am awaiting progress!

[@unfinishedstudios]

Appreciate it! It's coming!

[@herbienbrian2]

This is probably the hardest Star Car replica to pull off because it's rare packed to the gills with chrome, Christine is the only similar level of difficulty I can think of. The LS swap is a nice upgrade, and technically brand loyal, it's in the GM family. 😁
