Hollywood doesn’t just make stars of actors, it also makes stars of the cars we see. One family garage in North Carolina is bringing those iconic Hollywood cars from our beloved movies back to life.
Husband and Wife Team
Mark and Angela Zoran are the husband and wife who bring iconic cars like the ‘Back to the Future’ DeLorean and ‘Jurassic Park’ Jeeps to life. Mark’s job is to look after the painting, wiring, and fabrication of the Hollywood vehicles, while Angela works on costuming. Along with their small team of mechanics, the husband and wife have brought these pop-culture icons back from the wilderness.
Recreated with Precision
The team is known as Razorfly Studios, and they make sure to bring these cars back to life with immaculate precision. There is not a single detail on these cars that has been missed. The process all begins with buying the vehicles in the first place, which are the exact models of the famous cars. Then the team will make the cars mechanically safe and remove any rust they find on the bodywork. But that’s only the beginning.
A Labor of Love
Mark has always been passionate about making models, and he eventually worked his way up to recreating a 1:1 piece. Razorfly’s DeLorean could pass as a movie prop due to the attention to detail, with the company sourcing items actually used in the original time machine. If Mark can’t get his hands on an original, he makes copies of the originals using resin. The cars aren’t cheap to buy, with Razorfly sellings its replicas for prices between $20,000 and $50,000.
Thanks to Razorfly Studios, some of the most famous Hollywood cars are coming back to life and hitting the road once again. The shop’s creative process is being pitched to TV networks in the hope that we can all see how they bring these iconic vehicles back to life.
