I just read this about Boyd Coddington that he passed away. Famed Hot Rod Designer, Cable TV Show Star Boyd Coddington Dies THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES | Boyd Coddington, a renowned Southern California hot-rod and custom car designer and builder who starred in the cable reality TV series “American Hot Rod,” has died. He was 63. Coddington, a longtime diabetic, died Wednesday at Presbyterian Intercommunity Hospital in Whittier of complications of a recent surgery, said publicist Brad Fanshaw. Good by Boyd :down: Title: Re: RIP Boyd Coddington Post by: loman4ec on March 01, 2008, 09:05:32 am 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.

Title: Re: RIP Boyd Coddington Post by: Kilroy on March 01, 2008, 09:42:15 pm 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 :blush:
