Does anyone know is Boyd's wife keeping the shop going? or did she close it? I haven't heard anything about the shop. I heard Dwayne left there?

Closed up long ago.

I couldn't see how they could have kept it open. The shop WAS Boyd and any car built there after his death would never be considered a "Boyd" car.

True, I just wasn't sure thanks for the info Steve.

They close the wheel business too?

Shop closed long ago. Dan took over the paint shop area and is finishing a few boyd projects. dwayne is not at west coast anymore but not sure where he is now. wheel company is gone also. think jr. is trying to do something with the wheel line but american racing also still holds some rights to the wheels.

Sad story overall. I kind of felt Boyd was somekind of hero in cadzilla times. Still cant understand it went down so fast. I cant believe all the drama seen on television show. There must be some real talented guys working there. As far i have understood Boyd was just handling the PR??
