Of course you do. This is the finished video from my most recent classic car shoot. This 1968 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia sports a 2.2 turbo engine from a Subaru Legacy GT. And it gets driven year round.

The car was once on death row headed for the crusher but it was saved and reformed to be the beast that it is now. If you want to read more about the build and how the car came to be then check out the article I wrote for it !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . Got any questions about the car or what it's like to ride in? Ask away!

They are a cool look! They're actually 15" in the front and 16" in the back so it actually has a bit of a rake

Oh man. That's awesome. Great photography, too. What camera did you use to film all of this with? A 7D?

We used four cameras that day. A Canon 70D, Canon T3i, GoPro cam and a Panasonic DSLR. Glad you like it!

Was any stabilizing done in post? Some of those shots look like they were shot with a damn dolly, lol

We made a dolly out of old pipe and electrical tape haha but what you see is what you get. Gotta get creative sometimes!

Oh but we stabilized some of the rolling shots in post. I forgot about that.
