The fan box is perfect, nice scratch building going on there. šŸ™‚ I also love the mini roof rack. How did you assemble that rear panel with the segments on it? ---

There 's a lil update again, i almost finished all the roof props, except the tank on both side, the radar in the back and some wiring and details directly on the roof rack. I cant wait to fix all togheter on the rook rack and see tha result, finally the only pieces a used from the old roof is that box for the fan, the other was useless or too bigā€¦ 90% of all those item are built with wood cylinder of different size and popcycle stick, and a couple electronics part sfrom any card from video, tv or every crappy electronics device. The decals are like the real on the ecto, i draw em in illustrator than print em on a sticker paperā€¦ voila Im close to be done, im impatient to see the result myself:P ![image]([http://www.gbfans.com/images/pb/Manzarek\_2007/Ecto](http://www.gbfans.com/images/pb/Manzarek_2007/Ecto) 1 Kenner\_Prop3.jpg) ---

Are you planning on adding the legs to the roof rack? ---

This project is almost done nowā€¦ I finished putting and fixing all props together. There is not space in the roof rack as the real ecto 1 but it keep the ā€˜ā€˜toyā€™ā€™ look of the [kenner](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/real-ghostbusters/kenner-10410) ecto 1. For myself im happy of the result, a reproduced all props as the best i can do. I built everything from A to Z except from the fan Box, i get it from the original ecto roof. The next step will be to build the ladder, build and connect the different cable from the roof rack to the car itself, built the antenna and it will be done i thinkā€¦ Theres the pixā€¦ ![image]([http://www.gbfans.com/images/pb/Manzarek\_2007/Ecto](http://www.gbfans.com/images/pb/Manzarek_2007/Ecto) 1 Kenner\_Roof-Rack6.jpg) ![image]([http://www.gbfans.com/images/pb/Manzarek\_2007/Ecto](http://www.gbfans.com/images/pb/Manzarek_2007/Ecto) 1 Kenner\_Roof-Rack7.jpg) ![image]([http://www.gbfans.com/images/pb/Manzarek\_2007/Ecto](http://www.gbfans.com/images/pb/Manzarek_2007/Ecto) 1 Kenner\_Roof-Rack8.jpg) P.s : really sorry for my bad englishā€¦ :? :lol: ---

> [@samhain18](#): > > .hey is that a christmas light for the front light in the middle of the rack Not exactly, but it a similiar shape but just a bit more little. I got it from an electronique card. I broke the first i tried to work onā€¦ but a white christmas light is not a bad idea at all šŸ˜ƒ Everythings can be a potential ecto parts! The more funny part is the radarā€¦ i was unable to find the quarter plastic sphere, i take a long time to search it and i finally got it from a toy attached to a baby feeding-bottle LOL a big 2$ for an ecto radar!!! ---
