With a heavy heart I am posting to share that Roger, the man who took the skeleton of a 1960 Miller Meteor Landau hearse to the lively 1959 M-M ambulance that you all saw come to life, died today. He collapsed suddenly in his kitchen this morning while getting ready to go see Ghostbusters...

I'm interested as well.

Matsuo and I have obsessed over every single detail and if you're looking for input, I'm sure either one of us would be willing to provide whatever info you need. I'm definitely aiming for this gun to be an exact clone to what Vasquez had in the film in every way, even the details we never saw...

Good news everyone...the project is again underway! The rear block setup is being constructed now to allow for the rear grip trigger assembly to come together. Still a long way to go, but this is a huge step in the right direction. I will update this thread as things come together!

I am always happy to help however I can. I don't come on here every day, but I'll eventually get back to you!

It has been way too long since this has been updated...I really need to get this project complete because a hugely ridiculous opportunity is in front of Matsuo and I once this baby is done!

I figured I'd stop back in to show a few more pictures, as I forgot some... First of all, here is the radio with the accurate handset: I also forgot to share photos of another interior item that is in the car, a new old-stock Polynoid Linear Actuator, which sits on the back cabinet of the...

It has been WAY too long and for that I apologize. Without directly explaining why (and no, my car is not directly involved), the recently-announced Ghostbusters III has delayed my ability to have a roof rack fabricated, and I need that to really get things going on the car both outside...

The current process is very slow and I do not intend to post pictures until it is done (the interior)... That said, the roof rack process will begin soon, but tragedy struck the family of a dear friend who is going to be instrumental in that process and I am letting him try to cope with it...

These packs are so freaking cool...the videos of the electronics should be posted for those who do enjoy the project. I love the movie pack from the first film, but it seems like just about everyone has one nowadays. It's exciting to have some new, super awesome gear to wear, even if the stuff...

Hey guys, A couple of weeks ago I paid a visit to the Ecto and met with the guy who is going to do my interior upholstery and seat restoration. He does amazing work. We decided on a color scheme that wasn't initially what I had planned, but I realized that what I had in mind just wasn't going...

Hey all! I will update photos soon...the car is being taken apart in places and perfected further...lots of technical stuff that I will explain once I have the photos to do so. And yes, my car does not have curved door bottoms because of the suicide doors. My Ecto can't be 100% accurate, but...

It is actually in amazing shape...built very sturdy. I would be in on it if it were ever for sale, but I doubt that will ever happen, or that I could afford to acquire it. I wish I could share more, believe me!

Pictures will be coming as the work on the car starts to ramp up...that is likely to be the second week of September given that the guy working on the car is finishing up another car and going on vacation at the end of August into early September. I'm not complaining, as I am going back to Los...

Hey guys, I just figured that I would drop by and leave you all with some more recent pictures of the car. The car is being deconstructed to perfect various things as we speak and it won't be re-assembled for many months (we are going to get this thing perfect...it's close, but it is good to...
