Re: Boyd Coddington Passes
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.

Re: Boyd Coddington Passes
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.

Re: Boyd Coddington
-----I have made some negative comments in the past about Boyd. Im not sorry I made them but the latest were made without knowing of his health issues. Boyd was an enigma of sorts. He was a true revolutionary in the car building world and I do recognise his accomplishments. May he rest in peace........Bill S
