Hi, my name is Rich Wisencel and these are my Delorians
0:04
From a limousine to a hovercraft, and even a monster truck, Rich Wisensel has taken his DeLorean obsession to a new level
0:25
Crazy, absolutely. I would say without a doubt, DeLorean. without a doubt, Delorean Crazy
0:31
Rich from Chicago began creating his radical custom cars after meeting founder John DeLorean 14 years ago
0:39
I met John DeLorean at one of the DeLorean car shows. I showed him some of my sketches and I told him I'd like to build something like this
0:48
and probably thought I was a little bit crazy, but he said if you think you can do it, go for it
0:53
Inspired. The 50-year-old set about turning his creations into a reality, starting with the biggest of them all
1:00
This is my DeLorean monster truck, and this is what it sounds like when I fire it up
1:10
Even though it's pretty big, it actually only took me a month to build it. I built it back in 2002
1:17
using a wrecked DeLorean and a wrecked K-5 blazer. We married the two bodies together
1:25
body and chassis and we did some upgrades including a 12 inch lift kit and the building didn stop there as his new creations came in all shapes and sizes The DeLorean Limousine is 26 feet long
1:40
It's got three sets of gullwing doors, so we have six fully operational gullwing doors on there
1:46
and that's never been attempted, as far as I know, on any kind of limousine. Probably for good reason
1:52
They're very difficult to try to get everything lined up exactly right
1:56
He may be aggressive with these designs, but Rich employs a code of conduct
2:02
The DeLorean enthusiast will only use damaged cars for his creations. I use them primarily because there were so few DeLorians actually built
2:11
that I do not want to remove the good ones from the population
2:16
So I wait until I get damaged cars and I use them for the projects as I come up with them
2:23
As Rich drives his DeLorean into the distance, He's already planning his next amazing car conversion
2:31
My DeLorean projects are kind of like kids, so it's difficult to pick a favorite
2:37
I have so many different ideas for custom Delorians. I'm not sure if time, money, or my eventual age
2:47
stopped me from building them. But as long as I'm able, I will continue to build them
