Bjorn Harms: My inspiration for building the R/C Corvette came from watching the movie "Back to the Future" when I was a kid.

Narrator: The entire building process took Bjorn around one year to complete and cost him just over $4,000.

Bjorn: Some of the challenges I ran across were definitely hiding all the controls under the dashboard in such a way that the car was still a daily driver.

Narrator: He did the same exact transformation to an original DeLorean DMC-12. Bjorn even converted a customer's Pontiac Trans Am that he was modifying to resemble the vehicle featured in the 1980's TV series "Knight Rider." And he has some large aspirations for the future.
