So I know some of you might not know who this is, but love him or hate him, Boyd Coddington was an amazing hot rod builder. I met him a few years back and he was a great guy.

I still miss the Flying Scotchman so much, it sucks watching your heroes die.

While I haven't heard the nicest personal accounts about him, and am more of a Foose fan, myself, this is still very sad news. Rest assured, he will not be forgotten.

Foose actually used to work for him at one point in time. He was a hard guy to work with but it was because he knew what he wanted and how he wanted it. My cousins husband got to work with him and learned a lot.
