more importantly is that AL quit also on that episode.

MattM 08-31-2007 10:39 AM

I want to hear the story from Liz. Is she a member on any other sites? From what I can tell, she’s not here or at camaros.net.

She is indeed registered here, but she doesn't post anymore after she got told "No"..

MattM 08-31-2007 10:53 AM

Does she post anywhere? Currently? I guess that's what I'm asking.

:D Exactly what my fiancee said last night! Catty BS stuff.

And Boyd really is a joke. I worked for a shop in Anaheim and we had a few guys come in time to time looking for work, then we would find out they were working for Boyd and we would immediately know why they were looking. In addition, I saw what they got paid, and when Liz made the comment she thought she would make more, I can believe it. I am thoroughly convinced if minimum wage didn't exist Boyd would try to pay even less.

And attribute to his "lameness" the raised eyebrow kinda "wow" when he walked by her working on the instrument cluster, then 15 minutes later Jo is a whiny beotch fuming/asking why the "rook" is under her car, then finally says she doesn't like her 'cuz she gave her attitude (I would give Jo attitude too!). What I noticed was how Boyd had his back turned to her and Napoleon staring at the screen like a whipped pup. The Duane looks toward Boyd and Jo piped up "Boyd has a problem with her because I have a problem with her". Reality TV - proof that absolute stupidity masks as drama.

I too noted that Al quit as well. Al is one of the more solid guys, and IIRC he quit during an episode a couple years ago-ish, and then he was back later on. I suspect he likes a constant paycheck, but then gets irritated with Napoleon and has to leave (which was his reason on camera last night).

You're right about that, Roger. I would not be surprised to see Liz back on in the next couple of episodes.

Next you'll tell me there's no Santa Clause and then I'll really be pissed ! :mad:

MarkM66 09-02-2007 12:04 PM

Fake or real, Jo and Boyd let themselves be portrayed as a couple big time A-hole's in that episode. A decent person wouldn't allow that, and some veiwers won't appreciate it. JMO.

Garage Dog 65 09-04-2007 01:55 PM

Coddington has updated their web site - didn't see any build stuff like Troy's crew has up.

http://www.boydcoddington.com/store/Default.aspx#

They also have a form section - and noticed a bunch of stuff about the show and Liz in there.

Here it is
 
Hey guys,
I wanted to come on here to clear some stuff up. First of all i want to thank you guys who have shown your support on here, i have read some really nice things about me and I couldn't be more appreciative.

The thing I wanted to clear up is the sponsorship though Lateral-G.net that has seemed to cause quite a commotion. I met some of you guys at SEMA 06 and was made a member page on the LG website. I posted the link to the page and the website on mine and sent out an email update to my mailing list about it. A while back I asked Scott if he would be interested in having the LG logo on a t-shirt I was thinking of producing in trade for some capital to get the whole thing started. I just thought it would be a mutually beneficial investment since I would be advertising for LG, I wouldn't have asked a company or organization I didn't already support.. Scott said no and that was
fine. Some of you remember that I was featured in Hot Rod Magazine the month of SEMA. My participation on the LG forum as well as all other forums were really me biting off more than I could chew since the feature yielded quite a few emails making it impossible to keep up participation on the forums. I am truly sorry to Scott and everyone if this whole deal was misrepresented or misunderstood but really I'm not just looking for money for nothing.

I hope I get to see you guys at SEMA this year and if you guys have any questions about anything please do ask.

camcojb 09-04-2007 04:25 PM

thanks Liz, I'm sure we'll run into each other again this year.

If it's any consolation I would rather have you work on my car than 95% of the guys at Boyd's shop.. oh wait.. Al left.. make that 99%.. lol

What we really want is the inside dirt on the whole "Jo" deal.. :yes:

J2SpeedandCustom 09-04-2007 04:38 PM

Liz thanks for posting. I wish you the best and hope all is well.

Nah! Brycen and Sean are badass so no need although it would be cool for her to check out the fab! I'm sure she is one of the few women that could really appreciate it!:lol:

Besides.......She doesn't need to work on my car for a pair of jeans! I owe her a pair for talking chit and not having all the facts!!!!:bunny:

Yes, do tell!

Just finished watching the episode... I still just can't figure out why Boyd would want everyone to see what goes on in his shop...especially if it's staged - wouldn't they stage it to seem like a COOLER shop? Then add drama and stir? Maybe he's laughing all the way to the bank, I dunno.

NAH!! Just thought I'd make things right! Here is the e-mail I sent her last sunday!

"Hi Miss Miles! (Can I call you Liz?)

My name is John and I have abysmal welding and metal fab skills which is why my present project, a ’66 Nova, is with Ironworks Speed & Kustom and not me! LOL!!!

Here’s what it looks like so far!

http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g1...mersonNova.jpg

I am a member of several forums one of which you had posted on, Lateral-G.net! I found out later that you had asked Scott, the owner of Lateral-G, if he would sponsor you to stay on the site! I guess he said no since I didn’t see anymore posts from you! When I found out about this whole situation I thought it was kind of lame for you to have asked Scott if he would pay you to post on his forum! Well, there was some discussion about this on the forum and in the end we all chalked it up to either a mistake on your part or the prodding of someone else!( An agent or manager?) Most of the people on the forum that have met you thought you were very nice and, since I had already passed judgement on you I decided to rescind my feelings about the whole episode and apologize for having passed judgment without getting your side of the story! In any case, I would like to invite you back to Lateral-G as many of the guys(I think Lateral-G’s membership is up to 250,000 members!) would like to see you on the forum again! It was nice to get a womans perspective of the industry! In any case, this e-mail wasn’t for me to really invite you back to Lateral-G as much as it was to apologize for having passed judgement! Sorry!

BTW you should check out the shop that’s doing my works website! They’ve got some insane builds going on over there( Actually, they’ve been mentioned in the last few Popular Hot Rodding, Trucking, and Hot Rod magazines)and, you being a metal fab goddess, can appreciate the craftsmanship that these guys have! I really think that they are the next big shop much along the lines of Alan Johnson or Troy Trepanier!

http://www.ironworksspeedandkustom.com

Here’s a link to the build that Ironworks is doing that I posted on Lateral-G!

https://lateral-g.net/forums/show...t=4432&page=38

Good Luck!


John

P.S. I was wondering, since you are pursuing a TV career, have you thought about hosting a show in which you do a build and show what it’s REALLY like to build a hot rod! Many of the guys I know think that American Hot Rod is complete BS and are so sick of the soap opera that masquerades as a car build show but you would be the perfect spokesperson to build hot rods and I know of MANY that would watch with great intent! My .02!"

My guess is she had to sign some kind of confidentiality/non-disclosure agreement. Dammit. :mad: :lol:

Tonights segment is the Buried Car story. Might get a good look at the car this time.

3kidsnotime 09-07-2007 09:47 PM

I havent been on in a while, and quite interesting to fall on this thread, from time to time we talk meaning Liz and I.. at most idle friends but good conversation.. as coinincidence odd it may be we were talking tonight, I was aware of the new job and things at end but I never brought it up, to be honest didnt even think of it or care till I read this thread, All I do know she packed up her stuff moved to So Cal from No Cal kinda like packing your bags and moving to another state to those who dont know, Some may think a few days working at a shop and a couple days filming a show pays grand.. I dont think it would pay enough to head south.. But in the long run who really cares if she decides to tell she will.. I could really care less, I enjoy talking to her and she is quite a skilled fabricator at a young age she has drive and more eni****ive than most her age....

4SpeedGirl 09-07-2007 10:12 PM

The dirt :)
 
Here's the dirt...


The day I interviewed I was introduced to Jo by Boyd. I said "Hi, I am Liz, nice to meet you" she said "hi" and that was the last time we spoke or made eye contact.

It was also funny to see the show how upset she got at Duane about me workin on the car. I guess customer cars are second rate and they are ok with that being said on national TV...

Her attitude was actually a blessing in disguise I got out of that shop... Kind of a stressful place to work...


Thanks too guys for the apologies means a lot to me!

3kidsnotime 09-07-2007 10:21 PM

Good Job Liz!!

ccracin 09-08-2007 05:23 AM

So what's next Liz? Are you still in SoCal? Don't give up, you've got talent. Don't let that Circus of a shop get you down. Best of luck.
