the number of people that will attend his funeral will be mind shattering, there will be hotrods from all over the country, he may of been a asshat on the show, but its his bein a assshat that lead him to bein a legend and how he does cars. he will eb remembered and missed

 

[Shoeboy]

Its always sad to see a hot rod legend pass on. He may have been an ass, but he was on of the few true hot rodder's out there who had their name written in gold and everyone know who he was. He will be missed.

I saw some of his cars at SEMA, wasn't that impressed with the work, but then again, all the idiots on the show do the work

 

[michowski]

Ive looked at dozens of his cars and I dont like em personally. I can definatly respect the guy for what he did tho and for making hot rods what they are today. They just arent my style for what he does. RIP Boyd

 

[Shoeboy]

Agreed, not my style of hotrod, but he kept up with the modern times and keeping new school ideas and comforts on old school rides, all with keeping them looking good. Even if you aren't a fan of his styling, you still have to admit that they are works of art.

.......anyone that says good riddance to a man the let the automotive world be what is today loses all respect in my eyes, without him and men like him then the world of cars we live in today wouldnt be anything close to what it is now, even if u love ricer's or some shit, they wouldnt have been anything if it wasnt for the kids parents obsession with power that gets passed onto the kids....

so u my friend, get no respect from me whatsoever.

His show went off the air because everyone bitched about the way that lady was fired for no reason. His show business was over. Too bad though, he was innovative.

are you talking about sugar pants?she just pissed off jo,and jo got rid of her.
tis a shame,i enjoyed the show and waited for someone to kick dwaynes ass.

My biggest peeve is arrogant pricks! I personally won't miss him but, he opened the door for people like Troy Trepanier. The whole custom car/truck scene could be nothing compared to what it is if it had not been for Boyd.
R.I.P. Boyd Coddington. Now you get to answer for your arrogance.

 

[tpking]

chip foose worked with him in the begining and jesse james ( west coast choppers ) also trained under boyd so even if you dont like his work alot of other people are around because of him

 

[Jspafford]

Yeah, Jo fired the lady because boyd liked her a little too much. Now what?

 

[red85]

Another legend gone. Too bad we lost another great mind.
