Boyd Coddington

[427TJ]

Most successful business people are not always the nicest people. If you wanna' get rich you will probably have to piss people off along the way. If Boyd were a nice guy all the time he might never get a car finished. "Nice guys finish last." Probably why he hired Wayne to crack the whip in the shop and be the designated a-hole, otherwise those guys might work at their own speed and BS a lot more during the day. (How many shops have you been in where BS dominates a lot of the work day?) Ever wait 6 to 12 months (or longer) for body and paint? Maybe if the body/paint shop owner was more of an a$$hole and less of a nice guy your car would get done sooner! Plus, the a-hole charges more because he gets your car done in a reasonable period of time! The "cheap" guy is often (not always) the guy who takes a year to get your body/paint done. You gotta' pay to play and Boyd seems to have learned that early.
