Actually Dick Brogdon ran Boyd's shop and he didn't want to be involved in the T.V. nonsense........Dwayne was the T.V. Boss.............

It dosen't matter if you like his recent work or the kooky TV show antics, his creations have influenced almost every aspect of our hobby and most of the current builder/designers. My sympathy to his loved ones.

R.I.P.

This is a shocker. Erik and I met Boyd just this past October at the SEMA show...He seemed to be in good health and in good spirits. I've heard lots of "stories" about him, but he was very pleasant and both he and Ken "Posie" Fenical took time out of their conversation to talk to us. They seemed like genuine car guys. Like his style or not, he was a legend in the hot rod world.

Agreed... the baddest custom Caddy ever built IMO. Still looks as cutting edge as the day it was built, over 15 years ago.
