Looks good. Second pic would've looked better if the wheels were straight though.

I tired to make my own but in the end I just ended up buying one, I bought it from www.automotiverigs.com the one I bought is the one that clamps under the car because I didnt trust the magnet one. I'm also going to be buying some suction cups to be able to attach it on top of cars that are too low to use the clamps on.

I need to study those rigs. I'm pretty sure I can make one on my own. I need to know how to attach it to the bottom of the car.

when piecing your rig together, make sure you only use the ones with the magnets that attach to the frame under the car, as the suction cups if attached to the body panels can actually F- up the body. suction cups are only really good for the fixed close rig shots, but when you have it extended it's tricky.

So you are saying to only use the magnets for the body and under car attachments, right?

Thanks for the actual pics of the set up. Now I have a good idea on how to make it. I was having a hard time trying to figure out how to attach it to the bottom of the car. Everything else is easy.
