Boyd Coddington Dead at 63
Coddington died this morning at 6:20am at age 63 of an undisclosed medical condition. As a creative customizer (including Vettes), he made quite a name for himself despite a TV personality some found abrasive. Thought fellow CF members would like to know.

What a loss to the Hot Rod community. Some of the most incredible rides I have ever seen were created by this man.

Yes his TV personality left a little bit to be desired(I think a lot of that was "put on" for the show) but his automotive works of art speaks volumes for the man.The auto world has lost some of it's luster.R.I.P.
