Twistedtrik Posted February 29, 2008 Report Posted February 29, 2008 Having met him personaly, the guy was a dick in real life too. Not just on the show. We were at a show with a buddy of mines car and Boyds philosophy was if it didn't say Coddington it was shit. We talked to Chip Foose for a long time, that guy is cool as hell. Boyd wouldn't even accknowledge us. His crew built some really nice rides, and he was a helluva designer but I don't deal with people and their holier than thou attitude. Quote
theshee Posted February 29, 2008 Report Posted February 29, 2008 Huge loss to the hot rod world... very sad to see him gone. :sad: Quote
racer Posted February 29, 2008 Report Posted February 29, 2008 He was in some legal trouble too as I understand. The stress from that couldve really hurt a man of his age. what kind of legal trouble? Quote
[email protected] Posted February 29, 2008 Report Posted February 29, 2008 he was always real cranky on the show. but ill admit, the dude built cars. the studebaker/mercedes was my favorite. He was a good man , he even let his EX work in his shop.. if that doesnt cause stress i dont know what else could. Quote
Duner440 Posted February 29, 2008 Report Posted February 29, 2008 I heard about it yesterday. Couldnt believe it. I guess he had been in the hospital for some time with some health issues. Love him or hate him, he is a true hot rod pioneer and he will be missed. RIP Boyd. :beer: Quote
