The BOSS is Back!

Check out the new 1970 BOSS 302 Mustang from TLC's Overhaulin' show. Chip and the A-Team rescued yet another Stang from the glue factory. In 7 short days the crew transformed the rustang into a beautiful BOSS. it didn't take the JLFT team too long to decide this one had to be scaled!
Overhaulin'
The JL Full Throttle model captures the look of the Overhaulin' BOSS complete with the chromed out 302 under the opening hood. The engine is small but it truly captures the big power shoehorned into the mighty Mustang. Magnaflow Exhaust hangs underneath the real deal and sends the exhaust notes roaring out the back like on all Overhaulin' cars. JLFT does their best to replicate the look in it's mini models.
JL Full Throttle
The Mustang's exterior previoulsy had the owner singing the blues now it's just blue, albiet a really sweet looking Blue!. The hood is adorned with FOOSE-ified BOSS 302 striping in a special silver that can almost appear white. It is trimmed in a red-orange pinstripe. On the sides you can see the same BOSS 302 striping over the special ultra-deep Candy Blue paint we scored from our friends at House of Kolor. "HOK really helped us to create some of the best paints in the diecast business" says JL Full Throttle Creative director, Eric Tscherne, "which makes the JL Full Throttle cars really standout". The trained eye will see the wrong wheels are on our JLFT version, which has Foose Ascots on the corners. The photographed sample is a prototype and the production models will get the Foose Nitrous wheels that graced the fenders of the Overhaulin' pony. Also outback you can see chrome trim around the tail lights that will get blacked out in production to match Chip's Overhaulin' masterpiece.

The interior of the full sized pony is fitted with new racing style seats and all of it has been covered in fine leather from Katzkin Leather. Obviously the JLFT model is complete with it's plastic version of the Katzkin equipped machine. On the corners of this mini-Mustang you'll see pint-sized versions of BF Goodrich's G Force T/A tires. BF Goodrich has been outfitting nearly every Overhaulin ride since the show started and on nearly every one of the JL Full Throttle Foose cars you'll notice the attention to detail goes down to the treads where we even match the patterns of the life size rides!

"This Overhaulin' ride, the Foose 100,the 1968 Roadrunner and others should hit stores in mix D", says Tscherne. There are a couple other pics above that show some future foose rides that should also roll out in 2007. Check back here to see them reviewed as we get nearer to their availabilty, Enjoy!-JLFT Team
