Boyd Coddington: RIP

http://jalopnik.com/361391/boyd-codd...dead-at-age-63


I always had a sense of respect for the guy. On the show he seemed like kind of a hard ass but yet he came up with a lot of nice cars. Quite the shock for me to see he is gone. Just makes me think how bad of a day it will be when Carroll Shelby passes, Sucks to see the grand fathers of the car world go. Could be quite different without their part.

I have to say I never really cared for his stuff personally, but the craftsmanship and quality were always top notch.
