Oh my. That is so sad. I have been a Boyd fan since he built Chazoom back in the 90's. I loved watching his show. American Hot Rod, Overhaulin, and Soda-machines.com are all that keeps me same over here.

It's a shame! I met Boyd at the street Rod Nationals several years back. My favorite ride that he built was Billy Gibbon's (ZZ Top) cadzilla. What a work of art. Did you know that Jesse James used to work for Boyd.

I will mourn the passing  of an artist,  but  I would get so  razzled watching American hot Rod. If I ever get so cocky and  egotistical, please kill me. Oh, and you can keep my trophy wife if you do
