RIP Boyd

Never met the man.

If its really true that he was nothing like his persona on TV, its a shame that it will be the way most people think and remember him.

It really hit home when i was in my garage today, looking at my wheels and thinking we probably would still be rocking 15 in cragars if it wasnt for him,not saying the man just means a set of wheels, but the magnitude of what he did for the industry.We lost one of the greats

Back when Boyd started the shop he had a bunch of our hero's working with him at the time. Can you imagine how cool it would have been to be working with that crew at the time ? Lil' John back in the machine shop smoking like a fiend and cursing at anything that moved - Boyd's laugh and silly shirts - Chips designs - Jesse James - what a blast that must have been huh ! Yeah, I'm sure there were bad times, fights, and bust business deals - but aren't there always bad times. Remember the good stuff.

Thanks for all the projects - billet stuff - and guidance/support of an industry we all love ! RIP

Boyd Coddington was building clean smooth rides 20 years ago, when all others built flaked out chrome monsters. Truly "The Master".

RIP.
