JL Coming in 2011


I'm planning for some pretty exciting exclusives for 2011 and will be introducing the VW Transporter into the Forever 64 line. This casting will allow me to add some new depth to the releases. Look for police, rescue, Black with Flames and twist on Hollywood on Wheels using casting 916. The first release of the corpse delivery in Forever 64 is coming soon! This white with black vinyl top one is an exclusive I am working on with more details to come on the entire release.

2011 Beat the Heat


Johnny Lightning has some awesome Beat the Heat releases lined up for 2011 and one of them is Jim Luckett's Oldsmobile from the Illinois Beat the Heat. Jim's car is always a crowd favorite on the track and at local schools in his community. I just finished the artwork and am pretty pumped about this release. Look for it in early 2011. Actually, you might hear it coming first!

Flying Dutchman


Yesterday I had the opportunity to speak with the Vanderwoude family about releasing some pretty cool funny cars that the "Flying Dutchman" Al Vanderwoude drove. This will add some pretty exciting releases to the JL2.0 line in 2011. Vanderwoude drove Dodge's for most of his career but later moved to Ford. This will add some great depth to our vintage drag lineup.
