R.I.P. Boyd Coddington

[WDWFREAK53]

For those that don't know who he was, he was basically "The man" when it came to customizing cars. His shop was the basis for the show "American Hot Rod." He died at the age of 63.

This car is a completely aluminum body and tonneau (notice the look of a fabric seam on the roof)

Wow...shame to hear he passed away. I ordered Boyd rims years ago for a truck I used to have. It was cool, they made them on the spot when I ordered(took a few weeks) and they were great when I got them on the truck!

I so enjoyed the TV show American Hotrod.

Nothing more to add... just as shocked as the rest of the custom car community is... Godspeed, Boyd
