Re: Boyd Coddington died this morning...
seemed like an ***-hat on TV. Not sure how he was in real life but I can't imagine it was much different.
Can't say that I really care that he is dead either. I did not know him or anyone who did. This is about the same to me as some random bum dyeing in the cold tonight in MN.

Re: Boyd Coddington died this morning...
He wasn't a builder. He was a designer. He knew how he wanted the car to look and the parts to use. People say they can do this easily, but in the end, it's not true. He would come up with the design and then got a group of talented people to build the car. I don't think you should take away what he was good at because he wasn't welding and wrenching away. As for his personality and his business ethics. They were questionable. He definitely put those guys under a lot of stress trying to bang out projects in 8 weeks that should have been 16 week projects. He lost a lot of staff over it and a lot of them went to Foose so that says something.
Do I care he died? Not so much. Would I care if he still was alive? Not so much. So really, I'm pretty indifferent towards him. Just thought he was a talented designer but an ------- of a boss.

Re: Boyd Coddington died this morning...
The show did portray him and that ------- bald headed ---- like jerks but still. a lost life is a lost life. For the sake of not being a complete jerk ill say RIP. On the other hand, i think he had other people build bad *** cars for him. like that one mexican guy that did the frames ( veterano looling gangster fool ) was bad *** when it came to that. And that goofy looking white guy that looked like he ad someone hit his face with a iron, he was bad *** too. Also one of his painters left him. Jesus, how many of his employees left him to go work with foose?
