RIP Boyd Coddington

Customization suffers the death of a true legend

March 4, 2008 7:45 AM from

On February 27. 2008 hot-rodders around the world lost a true legend.
Boyd Coddington died an untimely death at the young age of 63.

I'm still a bit stumped. I just learned about it 20 minutes ago watching "American Hot Rod" on the Discovery Channel, so I'll leave it at that.

Rest in peace Boyd Coddington.
Burn some rubber in hot-rod heaven.

I'm sad to hear he is gone but I would not call him a legend. I never agreed with the way he treated his employees.

Small arguments now I guess...
