Building a Car Rig

Been testing some new gear including a new lighting boom.
I had a mini brainwave (surfs up) and I wanted to test it on my car to see how it performed as part of my automotive rig.
The reults are ok, but the boom was a bit too unstable and not quite long enough.
But it worked well as a compromise though and doesn’t take up too much room. All in all a useful test 
Here’s a couple of regular shots+ some with the boom in motion:
My car is for sale too, more info here: http://pistonheads.com/sales/1451840.htm

Hi
Cool shots of the car moving. Do you have any shots of the way the camera is attached to the car? Looks impossible.
Cheers
Paul
I have one from the top right picture.
Superclamp, magic arm, wireless trigger: http://twitpic.com/yl3z7
I did take a couple of the main rig for the front tracking shots, but they’re not online.
I’m doing a shoot of a race car this weekend, so if I blog it then I may add a set-up shot too.
