Let me be the first to say, that video was awesome.  It must have been an adventure making it.  And, the way you used the clouds at the end of the video with the closing shot of your Cuda was a fantastic.    :ylsuper:

Great video with the wonderful scenery and good music.  The wrong side driving would be hard for me to get used to, especially when the opposing traffic flashes by on the right side.  Thanks for posting!

Beautiful vid ,great way to show your country side....and you are not using a stock wiper motor are you?

Cheers!
It was a great road trip.

I used a Canon 7D on a tripod with two legs splayed out on the dash and the third down between the seats.

A pity I didn't have the camera setup on my road trip the year before, as the footage from that would have blown away the stuff in this video.
Here's a link to my thread on that trip:

Maybe I'll have to do it again when the car is complete! Better start saving for the gas costs...

Cool video.  The alarm bells did go off driving on the left side of the road when a car appears on the corner ahead! 

My favorite parts were the opening and the ending.  Time lapse is spectacular at the end with your car sitting still.  My least favorite parts would be the speeded up video from inside the car.  I know you had way more great footage than you could use and that allowed you to include more footage, but it can be hard to watch (for me anyways).

Thanks for the great feedback!
We have some awesome driving roads here, and spectacular scenery.

The fast footage was filmed by setting up the camera to take one photo a second, then putting them together into a video clip at 25fps.
Similar to how I filmed the timelapse footage with the clouds in the background.

And trust me, you don't want to hear the sound the camera recorded! Nothing but rattles, bangs and squeaks, and very little engine noise.
It sounded good to be in the car and you heard the exhaust note clearly, but the camera must have picked up all the vibrations through the tripod.
I'll be rigging up a dedicated microphone when the car is complete, and running a cable to a custom camera mount under the rear view mirror.

The wipers were a mash up of a 3 speed motor with a 2 speed switch, that wouldn't park and went at one fast speed only. I fixed that later though.
