I thought that someone was trying to make a really bad joke. Then I figured out that, nope it true. Such a bummer to end the rest of my day after reading that. Thats about as crazy as when Earnhart died.
This a very sad loss, oddly enough I was just thinking yesterday how much Boyd Coddington has influenced my life and gave me inspiration to do things. I wished one day I could meet him. Now to hear that he has passed away is definately a depressing moment for me and everyone else that admired his passion and work.
That really sucks, I didn't know much about him before the TV show, and it seems like he was a bit of a hard *ss and probably hard to work for, but it's tough to argue his genius and influence on the industry. He seemed a lot younger than 63, and in good health, but very sad. A legend for sure. RIP hot rod man.
