Hello all…I just wanted to extend my horizons (and my thread) from [theecto1.com](http://theecto1.com) forum to this fan site.

I am currently in the process of creating an Ecto out of a 1965 Cadillac Hearse.

My progress can be found via this link:

[http://www.theecto1.com/forum/index.php?topic=827.0](http://www.theecto1.com/forum/index.php?topic=827.0)

Here are a few of my more recent pics:

I’ve really been enjoying the progress of this ECTO! You’ve really made this 65 Caddy work and it actually can hold a candle to the original 59 model!! Everything about it is spot on and beautiful and the fact that it can make turns like that in the “brake test” is an A+ in my book. (You can park like Elwood Blues 8) ) Keep it up and I look forward to the end result!!
