I started to do a Ecto-1 custom from a Kenner’s Ecto-1 and a [Extreme Ghostbusters](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/extreme-ghostbusters) spare parts.

Started with the Base of the car I sprayed it black interior and chromed out certain points.

I am impatient as well as I do it. Yours actually inspired me to do it. I just hope I can do a good job.

So I have been awfully busy with things here but I have not forgotten to keep this up.I have bought some plastic to replace the windows for the [Ecto-1](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/uncategorized/ecto-1) and I have cut out the solid square on the back door.I have also Pre-sprayed the body a black as a beginning so when I paint it white it will hold well.Pictures will be up soon. 🆒

Just a word of advice. In the future if your going to paint something a light color, in this case white, its best to use a light color primer like grey. It takes less coats to cover over the lighter primer than it does the darker color 🙂

Those are great works (Yours and Spengler ones)!

Still have to do form a [Kenner](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/real-ghostbusters/kenner-10410) Ecto 1 the Ecto 1 A but I’m not shure to make it like the movie or the original kenner ecto 1-a, since I’ve got ghostbusters 2 [mattel](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/toys/mattel) action figures and I would be cool to fit them in the car!

What do you suggest?

Thank you 🙂
