Boyd Coddington is DEAD

[1QWIK6]

Boyd passed away this morning - THE H.A.M.B.

The guy was an azzhole to his workers, but he did turn out some nice cars.

Rip

Seemed like a jerk on TV but I'm not about to judge someone based on what I know about them through television.

R.I.P.

 

[CARTMAN]

Unfortunate, I'm guessing his death will be heart related given how out of shape and overweight he appeared to be on his show. RIP

 

[klrv6]

Sad.

He (his shop) did start many of the hot rod trends we still see today.

 

[GregInAtl]

Love him or hate him, he was a trend setter and a "bitchin" car guy.
RIP Boyd, TV didn't do you justice, and the cars you built w/ your team changed my generation back into hot rodders.

guess the stress level involved with trying to run a big show finally caught up

 

[racerex1]

RIP !!! His show was a soap opera but His carz were awesome!!! He will be missed in the Hot Rod community and will become an even bigger legend.

cause of death ?

 

[turbo nasty]

Sux that he is gone. He did make a mark in the rod/auto arena.
His show was a bunch of drama or at least made to seems as though.

Hope he was not as much of a pr!ck as the show made him seem to be.

RIP:frown:
