Brent,
For the side shot of me driving by, the drone stays at any altitude you set it at. So I just had it set at about 5 feet off the ground. Then I put the car in first and drove normally steering with my left hand, and using my right hand to pitch the drone left in this case. It was hard to get the speeds to match up, but I was able to and with some editing you don't see all the times I drove right past the moving drone haha.

Well, my house is surrounded by trees, and my garage is under our house. So it wouldn't have been very neat looking. I need to find a fake house/garage around town to pretend to use for the videos.

I would love to do that!
Just have to find the places. My wife said she would dress up too. So that would be cool. Maybe a going to church series or a train station if I could find one.

Absolute fantastic. Thanks for making the video and sharing it.

At first i thought you might have been using one of those new sport drones with the tracking beacon, pretty sophisticated collision avoidance on them these days.

Mine was repainted in the 70's. The paint has many spiders in it, but she looks great 10 feet away!

We have one of them there Model A's too! Painted in 1972 but looks great as you say from 10 feet. (Somebody lacquered the fenders and of course they are cracked out),

Still gets a lot of compliments from people most don't even seem to notice
