sweet. looks exactly like the set I made for Calvin.

You're definitely gonna need a UWA lens for certain shots, but what you have so far looks good.

My rig is very similar to the one that SPEED built:

1 x 10' EMT pole (local Home Depot will have this in the Electrical aisle) - $8
2 x Avenger F1000 suction cups - $97
3 x Manfrotto Super Clamps - $75
1 x Manfrotto Mounting Stud (to attach your ball head to the Super Clamp - $6

I used the Manfrotto ball head (488 RC2) that I already had. Its a bit on the heavy side so I'll probably replace it with at 484 Micro ball head in the future.

Off to a great start, Marcus. Was the engine on in this shot? The rear seems OOF, maybe some camera shake? I've been leaving the car in neutral and having someone push it from behind. I've had to do this alone a couple times, so it is possible.

I prefer 10+ second exposures for night time rig shots, inside or out. During the day I'll do anywhere from 2 seconds to 1/6.
