Boyd Coddington Dead at 63

thats so sad... death of a legend... i remember when you couldnt go anywhere without people talking about the boyd wheels on their minitrucks
 
He did a lot of good for the HOT ROD industry. And you gota love those shirts. :top:


RIP.
 
wow, boyd... he was a great builder... when I was a kid, guys like him & George Barris & so many others were like my idols, was never into sports or celebrities or anything, but a great car builder was the thing that I was most impressed by

Cadzilla was one of my all time favorite custom cars, the man was a real custom guru, he at least lived a dream & got the recognition he deserved. yeah, towards the end he was just commercialized & the only thing left of his work was the hype, but that's to be expected I guess when you really hit the big times... I mean when he was younger, he was the kind of guy who would spend hour after hour building something by hand, once your a milionaire many times over, I guess there are better things to do with your time, but he was still a legend & an icon....

rip in hot rod heaven...:frown:
