#1 - Rear Deck Camera Mount
This one I took out the rear seats and drilled a hole through a bent piece of 1" steel stock bar to bolt it to the rear pass-through latch.

I then installed a "post" of sorts using nylon spacers for my tripod head, pushed the steel bar down on the seat so that it won't vibrate much, and viola, one rear deck camera mount. Purpose being for wide shots of the interior and allowing to see the driver's movements/shifting/wheel turning in relation to the view.

#2 - Interior Clock Pod Dash Mount
No pics yet, but a hole drilled in the clock pod to mount another "post" for the tripod head. When the post isn't in use, a small black hole cover will cover up the unsightly hole, so it shouldn't look too bad. Purpose is to put the camera up close to the dash, allowing me to turn it on and off easily, and to give a better sense of speed when driving along.
#3 - Tow Hook Camera Mount
Again, no pics of this one yet, but it is done, using the front tow hook, some fender washers, 1/4" threaded rod and some nuts and bolts. Pretty sturdy, wouldn't use it on long excursions, but should give some very interesting camera footage.

I'll let the pictures do the talking here.
