Check out the latest Foose machine!
Now this is COOL! JL Full Throttle has brought to life everyone's favorite Overhaulin' Ride: The Foose 100 AKA Overlord!
The '56 started out as Chip's father Sam Foose's shop truck at Project Design. At 14 Chip bought the rambling wreck of dad and set out to get it together so he could drive her to school by the time he turned 16. Just like on Overhaulin' when Chip has a deadline he hits it and this was just the beginning of hi get it done attitude. Chip rolled it to class and then hung on to it eventually completing it once and driving it everyday when he worked for Boyd Coddington in the early 90's.
So how did they do it? How did Overhaulin' get the jump on the master himself? Bud Brutsman, the A-Team and dear old dad, Sam, got together to make it happen. The Truck was slyly stolen from Foose Design in a very calculated crime. Then the project got going with the help of everyone hip has helped through the years.
The truck got a new "big" rear window which Chip had detailed on some sketches the insiders had seen. Cutting and section was also outlined on those schematics. Sam oversaw the work as the truck was fitted with an Art Morrison Corvette suspension and a 4 link. 6-piston Foose edition Baer Brakes were placed on the corners. Metal Crafters stamped a Foose logo into the tailgate to finish off the body. Chip's master painter and bodyman Charlie Huton was in charge of the body which got a slick coat of ultra black paint. DR Design pinstriped it to finish it off.
Jack Roush of Roush Racing sent over his very first Roush 451 FE 455 hp engine which was immediately hooked up to a Bowler transmission. Magnaflow plumbed the Foose '56 running the exhaust fumes out back.
Inside Bill Dunn finished off the doors, dash and bench seat in Keystone Leather. Vintage air keeps Chip chipper in the California heat. A Wood Workers new teak bed floor finishes off the back end of this custom cruiser.
As always Foose Wheels from MHT cap of this custom. A special charcoal gray matches the centers of the Nitrous II's to the pin stripping and leather. DR Design highlighted the centers with Foose signature orange.
The Truck was returned to an unsuspecting Foose at the Roush Racing press conference at SEMA in 2005 where Chip was floored! As usual Chip thanked the team this time for bringing his dreams to life!
The JL Full Throttle version is available is SM Scale. With it's opening hood hiding a chomed out mini version of that power house Roush rat between the fenders, it contains some sick details wrapped in flawlessly painted die-cast metal! The micro sized Foose Wheels gleam with Chrome and you can see how Chip's body mods and window upgrade really set the Foose 100 apart from other 56's. We captured all of the details down to the Moon Style flip-up gas cap on the passenger's side. Check it out at a store near you real soon! -JLFT Eric Tscherne
