Thank you! I have a few more I can throw together before I start needing to film more. I might get to those in the next few weeks depending on workload.

Awesome, I look forward to seeing them! Are you still planning on taking her to NYC for Halloween?

Not this year unfortunately. There's definitely a strong chance we could survive next year though!

Could this be alluding to the reason you’ve been collecting some extra parts??

HOLY mother puss-bucket... i can hardly imagine how many human lifespans of work you must have had to put into that, to get it to how it looks today. Unbelievable :shock:

All told it took about 9 months of long, sleepless nights to take it from what you see here to running and driving.

9 months seems fast tbh

It was quite fast. A typical, quality restoration takes at least a year/two years. I had some serious deadlines to meet in order to make appearances with some of the movie starts, that's why I hustled pretty damn hard to make it happen in such a short time.

It took a long time to make this happen, but I finally got to take this picture!

Growing up wrenching on GM’s this makes me wish I lived near Ohio just so I could help in some way, shape or form! Can’t wait to see how you bring this one to life.

Without a doubt, Ben! The only difference this time is it's a complete, running and driving car instead of a totally disassembled car.

As an Ohio ghost buster Ive been to several events now that included the Ect-Ohio and I have always marveled at how good the build quality is. You are an amazing person to build it and to let it be used at so many events for charity. Thank you so much and I can wait to see what you do next!

Also; the seats are super comfortable.

Oooh, so you're going to build the 1-A?

1A, Pre-Ecto, restore it to original, just preserve it....many options to choose from. But for now, I'm not doing anything with it until I'm in a better position to do something with it.

I'm guessing you own a Mach on top of those. Only so much time in the day to work and all of them

No Machs, only Cobras and Super Cobra Jets in my collection.

Got a ' 70 but no 428, would have to butter up my shock towers fit one end. I grew up with my uncle telling me the 428s were better truck engines, all torque ect.. I eventually rode in a scj a few years back, all the power you'd want out of a street car

New video posted! Not an Ect-OHIO video, but a 1A compilation video. I couldn't find one that captured all the scenes with the car so I decided to make this video, complete with Coke Commercial driving footage!
