RE: boyd coddington dead at age 63
most people i've known that have met him say he was an absolute douchebag in real life.
People i speak to in the industry say that he had shady business practices as well.
I beleive (not 100% sure) that all his award winning cars were put together when Foose ran his shop.
He burned a lot of bridges with employees and business parters along the way...which is why many employees left to go work for foose and others....
but it still sucks he died. the dude COULD draw some sweet f'ing wheels......

yeah i used to work for a hot rod shop and we would always go there for wheels and yeah he was a dick in real life. chip and him had a big falling out and boyd was just a big dick about it and chip the bigger man never stopped respecting him.
just my .2
but yes it still sucks that a legend is not with us anymore
