Greetings Ecto Fans! Grab a Twinkie, here we go!
First I want to start out with, I'm in no way able or want to recreate a screen accurate Ecomobile. I'm going for my personal 50/50 rule. (50ft away @ 50mph LOL) This is another project for my trio of rotating Halloween themes. I do Haunted Mansion, Pirates, and now Ghostbusters.
Once I purchased the white Subaru Outback, I knew it would eventually turn into an Ectomobile. I needed to build the roof rack in sections, so I can easily store it during the year. It also needs to be light enough so I can install and remove by myself. Also to note, this is my first build attempt and as others have mentioned, it will evolve. My goal was to build this in one month, making it ready to go by October 1st.....
Here's a short list of items used:
- metal roof rack
- blue beacon lights
- JBL bluetooth speaker
- wood, white paint
- pvc pipes, junction box
- clear acrylic dome display case
- use fireman air tanks
- blue dryer cleaning hoses
- split loom tubing
- assorted hvac & electrical treasures
- printable vinyl stickers and ebay logos
