Kirkf, I used a GoPro, with a homebuilt suction cup mount on the windshield. Made it from an old Garmin GPS mount, and I like it better than the official GoPro suction mount. I just wish I could find a decent microphone, the built in mic is pretty good, but you may have noticed some of the vocals were difficult to hear in this video. That's after I tweaked the audio in editing too. Just having a window open in the car while driving messes up the sound.

I have more videos coming this winter in regards to repairs to the 54 Meteor. New exhaust valves, Borg Warner Overdrive install etc. Not working on cars right now so I have time to edit!

Thanks again you guys, I appreciate your comments!

You might want to go with clip on Microphones. Or clip one to the headliner above you. They are cheap enough and you can find them on craigslist. My old Black Hero 3+, has a jack on the side. If you have a newer one, you will have to go another route to get the jack:

As to wind noise, you can always wrap the mic's in a "dead cat microphone cover". When I did my movie, on the highway, in a convertible with the top down, I used a mic, wrapped in a dead cat, attached to a suction cup,stuck to the lower trunk deck lid of the car. (I sent you PM with the utube address.) The camera mount is just two suction cups from Harbor Freight with PVC pipe ans hose clamps.

Love the movies. Hopefully you have started something, where we will see more movies of their kids driving their cars!

PS

You could always clip the mic's to the sun visors, they will still be out of the camera shot, yet close to you for better sound quality.
