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.
