About Me


From the minds of today's top designers like Chip Foose and die-cast guru Eric Tscherne, JL Full Throttle has created some of the hottest new die-cast metal models on the market today! The JLFT Myspace will give fans of diecast and Foose the skinny straight from the JLFT team!
Check out the old Showroom in NY and Chip helping to launch the line with the hand-built Impression prototype! This one of a kind hand crafted model is sure to be highly valued.
JLF Full Throttle and Chip unveiled Chip's Dream-Machine, the JL Full Throttle Hemisfear by Foose Design. Chris Jacobs Hosted the event seen here in this exclusive clip from the JLFT Team. Eric Tscherne, the brains behind JLFT was also on hand to talk about all of our great Foose diecast collectibles and how the JLFT Hemisfear was actually completed more than 6 weeks before the 1to1 Hemisfear! Chip talked in depth about the car which features a 600hp 392 HEMI engine supplied by Mopar. Chip also announced at the show that there will be 50 of them built for sale. The first of which crossed "The Block" at the Barret Jackson auction earlier this year fetching a price of over 300K.
Check out the video from SEMA '06:
Check out the JLFT Hemisfear Build Blog and our Myspace blog for more pictures. Learn more about the diecast at: JLFullThrottle.com
Collectors should be on the lookout for the SM Scale special edition SEMA exclusive replicas of Chip's JLFT Hemisfear. JL Full Throttle gave away these limited edition replicas during SEMA Oct. 31 - Nov. 3rd. 100 LRG Scale Launch Edition models were also given to commemorate the event. 2500 of the Launch Edition version were created most of which were available trhough TOys R Us and all of which are now sold out! These promotional launch editions are the only Hemisfear models to ever be produced. They will one day be a true collectors item and great Foose memorabilia.
JL Full Throttle was designed from the ground up by collectors and for collectors, JLFT cars feature insane detailing with opening hoods and all of the expected custom touches along with tru-scale!
To help make the new JLFT cars even better the team partnered up with Chip Foose and the folks at Foose Design. His insights and ideas have helped make the cars that much better. You may not be able to get your ride on Overhaulin' or afford to have Chip build your dream machine, but now you can get your favorite Foose Designs from JL Full Throttle.
Many other partners were utilized to make the JLFT cars the best they could be. House of Kolor was contacted early and helped to make the JLFT paints as sweet as their own. MHT was consulted on wheels, BF Goodrich supported the project from the beginning, offering insights from the tire perspective and sponsoring the first JLFT give-away! Many others were called upon from the real AND toy car worlds to again make the JL Full Throttle cars and trucks the best yet.
Check 'em out!
