Wow two more pioneers are gone.... I had an experience meeting Boyd in the late 80's. I had just graduated high school and my high school sweetheart moved to California. We were together for a while so I saved up my money and went to see her. Of course I took her to all the hotrod shops. I was building a 27 Ford drag racer and was searching for just the right taillites. We stumbled on Boyds shop and he spent several hours with us. We talked about my car and he showed us some of his builds. He took us all through the main shop even out back in the storage are to show us builds that were in progress but pushed aside for whatever reason. He was nothing like the TV portrays him. I enjoyed the few hours I got to spend with him sharing our passion for cars.

Rip Boyd and Lil John

Thats unfortunate. He definately left his mark in the Hod Rod Industry.
RIP

I had the pleasure to meet Boyd a few times on some of the early years of the HotRod power tour. He was great to talk with about hotrods and cars in general.Super cool guy.R.I.P. Lil John was also a amazing builder from funny cars to street rods. May he rest in peace.

RIP Lil John...
