+1 I Thought That He Seemed To Be Really Moody And For The Most Part A Dick To His Employees :shrug: R>I>P> Mr. Coddington :burnout:
What was the cause of his death?
According to the SF Chron. article, he died at 620am this morning, no details on the cause.
Everyone I know @ Rad Rides by Troy never had much nice to say about him, but like mentioned...he's contributed a lot to hot rods. I haven't read the link posted or know his age, but seemed too young.
everybody has their critic's
That sucks, if you have never seen the body coddington smoothy II's on a Lightning then you cant really appreciate how good of a wheel designer he is.
Sad to see him go even if his rep over the last few years has gone down from the TV show. But alot of you don't know how stressful it is to run a business and the camera's don't help.

So is there pics or vids of his death?

Most of you don't know his early work when he did it all himself.
He was a great builder. Yea his show may have shown the worst side of him but to call him names is just sad.

All I know is that if I had a business to run and I had a bunch of guys messing around while there are deadlines to make with a bunch of cameras in my face my reaction would make Hitler seem like a nice guy.

I doubt he even designed that wheel. He was talented in finding talent in his later years, but his rush to finish cars instead of taking his time and making sure the job was done perfectly in later years really brought the rep of his shop to a halt. While the Teutuls might look mildly retarded on TV, at least their custom bikes are built well, they stand behind them, and have good bodywork done on them.
Damn, i know he wasn't the nicest man, but he is still human, Chip foose use to work for him, but I think he was scarred from chip leaving him and his painter.....his painter went to chip foose, that overhaulin' show, it was badass, but overall RIP BOYD
