Another talent gone, guess he'll be giving Roy a hard time again now.

How sad. I was a big fan of the show. I wonder what he died of.

When I die, I want to go peacefully like my Grandfather did, in his sleep -- not screaming, like the passengers in his car.

what a total wounder!!!!used to laugh my tits off when he'd have a go @ blue bear
Compared to Foose he came off as a COMPLETE a$$hole, but still, he was a legend in the business and it will be interesting to see what the future of
Coddington rods holds, since he wasn't really involved in the builds much anymore

Sad to see him gone, his lack of man-management skills was second only to Paul Teutil snr's.
Can't believe he was only 63 though, even though he obviously dyed his beard and hair he looked ancient, and has been around on the hot rod
scene forever.
RIP

Man, are those ever ugly cars! But you have to admire the workmanship. So So Cal, which is not at all my thing, personally. His show was mildly
entertaining.

He just died, he did not ask if you thought he was stressed, he was a great inspiration to many builders worldwide, get a grip and make some posts up
elsewhere!
I sometimes wonder if people are building cars or posting on a blog forums..........

I love most auto related shows, I stopped watching his show in season 1, you can't treat people like that and be in business long, surprised he
didn't declare bankruptcy again.
his absolute hatred for chip foose was baffling, the guy mad his business what it is, but he goes out on his own to make a name for himself and hes a
backstabber.
Boyd only became successful by leaching the talent from his underlings while keeping them down.

That's a bit harsh! (I know - who am I to talk!)
Whippy is only sharing an opinion. One that probably a few people have and he does get on with some of his own car building.
But sharing an opinion aout a public car builder on car building forum isn't exactly way of the mark IMO.

You posted 8 times in 2004, once in 2007 and thrice today. You have a picture of a can of worms in your archive and apart from one mildly constuctive
comment about an S2000, don't seem to be of much use.
Why, exactly, are you here and could you do us a favour?
Not post for another three years!
Thanks
Simon
