Thanks guys. Just put up on their website yesterday. Couple comments about the video. Last summer the Autoblog organization located here in SE Michigan contacted our club, Great Lakes Cobra Club, and expressed interest in doing a video about our hobby, cars, etc. The club president asked if I would be willing to work with them, and this is the result. A lot of the shots, where you can see people, traffic, a parking lot of cars, etc. were taken during last year's Woodward Dream Cruise in August. The rest of the driving shots were taken in October last year in and around my neighborhood. The interview was done in my garage shop on the same day. (Interested to see how much the Coupe build has changed since then.) Took a while, but finally done and published on their website.
Like most people I think, I'm not too excited about seeing and hearing myself in something like this. A pro at this kind of thing I am definitely not. But I'm pleased with how it turned out overall. The video was taken with a handheld Canon or Nikon pro style SLR (don't remember which), a GoPro stuck in various places on my car, and a Mavic Pro drone. There was probably several hours of content boiled down to these 7+ minutes. Alex did a nice job. My favorites are the overhead and passing shots starting around 1:35. Those are on the street in front of our house, just as the fall colors were starting.

I agree. I read the article before I realized there was a video attached. Great aerial shots! Love leaves being kicked up.
Simply inspirational!

I shared your video on my FB so people have a better idea of what I'm doing when I'm being anti-social... or when I'm telling them how incredible these cars are.

Great video Paul, love the candid truth about what some people think when going into one of these builds and that he didn't driveone until he built his first one, did the same thing myself.
