JLFT HEMISFEAR SUSPENSION: One on One with John Hotchkis!

How do you control a 600 hp engine installed in a 2000 lb. hot rod? A well-designed suspension system is one of the keys! Learn how The Hotchkis Automotive group is creating the suspension for Foose’s JL FULL THROTTLE HEMISFEAR - soon to be unveiled at SEMA 2006! These suspension experts have the experience to make sure every foot-pound of torque that a big powerplant puts out will makes its way to the street!

Watch for the world premier unveiling of Foose’s latest creation in 1:1 scale and in the JLFT Diecast in SM and LRG collector scales at the 2006 SEMA Show in Las Vegas!

Foose & Overhaulin’ crew check out the latest from JL FULL THROTTLE

Chip’s a real busy guy. But during a recent break from the Hemisfear build and an Overhaulin’ episode (sorry, I can’t tell you which car is being worked on… just yet), Foose and crew took the time to check out the latest from the JLFT line.

Talk about being under the microscope! The Overhaulin’ guys lived THROUGH the real deal and remember just about every detail from every Overhaulin’ car ever built! We were up for the challenge because guess what? WE’VE been on set for talking to the builders and taking plenty of photos to make sure our sculptors got the details right.

The result? Under their critical eye, we passed the test BIG TIME. The crew was psyched with the entire line of FOOSE DESIGN and the OVERHAULIN’ cars. All the memories and stories of the many long and sometimes 20-hour days came back to the crew as they held the diecast in their hands and rolled the cars on Foose’s worktable. These guys and women were truly touched by the moment….

Hey, it’s all in the details, and the Overhaulin’ team of builders has played a big part in getting those details RIGHT in the JLFT line!

Thanks team!
