Thread: Boyd Coddington Dead

Is Chip Foose building his coffin?

That's not good, enjoyed the show and the cars, looks as if FOOSE is now the KING.

Your too quick for me dobbo

Nice cars, but there is no way on Gods green Earth I would have worked for him.

sad thing to of happened but he was an idiot .... if he'd talked to me like he did his workers I would of knocked them teeth right out of his head . and it was his workers that made the cars not him . he was just a fat git who sat in his office cramming donuts

Thats not good at all, i enjoyed the show, and the cars he built. I reckon Boyd would have lost more staff to Foose had he of sacked that **** clown Dwayne, he was the problem, sure he worked hard and was reliable but he was the reason people didnt want to come to work all the time.

A big loss to the car community.

Had some pretty amazing vehicles and some excellent tradesmen, but you would never want to work in that sort of environment - all night marathons, no weekends off and far to short project deadlines.

The amount of angst in the place was through the roof, any wonder Chip Foose and Charlie* etc walked.

* Charlie seemed much happier in his cameo appearence working with Chip on "Overhaulin"

He didn't always have a large workshop and a troop of workers. He built that all himself, and a lot of fantastic cars by himself too. He did appear a bit of an ass on the show though.

That's a sad loss to the hot-rod community and custom car scene in general.

I quite liked the bloke from what I saw of him on the show. As mentioned above, Dwayne was the biggest problem with regard to the mis-treatment of staff and the walk-outs by key team members.

RIP Boyd.
