  • boyd is a fagget. chip foose is da man, at least he works on all of his car. thank god boyd is dead. hope he burns in hell.

  • Everyone keeps saying Boyd built great cars, I never saw him build one car, he had designers, fabricators, painters and the only time he got his hands dirty it ended up having to be re done. Early days maybe but certainly not in the past 15 years

  • What it comes down to is-"Money talks,bullshit walks"the cunts are the shysters that try fucking this guy over money.Most cunts cannot understand how much work/toil goes into a refined machine/all the tools,machinery it takes to build it from the builders pocket.Too many cunts in this world.

  • All you people saying Boyd was a cunt? No, you're wrong. You're all cunts. RIP Boyd Coddington, you legend.

  • Always wondered y they never made a new series, rip boyd

  • This prick had the personality of a used rubber. I worked for a cocksucker like him for 2 years, i feel sorry for anyone who worked for him except for that ball licker duane.

  • I think California killed him,just like it did Jesse James with its bullshit laws.Why would it take yrs for California to fine J.James over $200,000 in fines saying his engines weren't running clean enough?Fucking California greedheads responsible.

  • boyd hat zwar sehr schöne autos gebaut...bzw seine mannschaft..doch er und duane waren die größten arschlöcher...die nur auf kosten der mitarbeiter das fertig bringen konnten...hut ab vor der leistung seiner mannschaft....

    man soll trotzdem nicht schlecht über verstorbene reden...nun denn

    r.i.p...roy schmidt

  • Starting with the Vern Luce coupe, Boyds cars were great.

  • Coddington was an ass. The most unfriendly car guy I ever met. No wonder his employees quit.

  • Come on, the show was documented proof that he was a royal a-hole...so he's dead and now we are gonna ignore the facts? The employees thought they had gotten their dream job-working for Boyd. And every one quit 'cause the dude was impossible to work for. His son is a punk, and he was a prick. It's on tape. F-Billet and Boyd too. Except for Cadzilla, most of the cars sucked too.

  • what's the name song?

  • Never forget ! RIP ! :(

  • fuck u cunts boyd was 1 of the best i wuld lyke 2 see u freaks build a car lyke he did

    get fuckd u faggots u dnt deserve 2 be watching this video

  • logik shut up.you dont know nothing.you should dumo yoursef in the river.

  • how did he die

  • Boyd ist jetzt fast 2 Jahre Tod,und ich habe es erst gestern mitbekommen! :( R.I.P. Boyd

  • mr. gesichtspullover lol he looks like a ass with beard lol

  • fuck this cunt happy that shit is gone from this planet. choke some ((_)ZZZZZZD- - - and duane this little prick too.

  • fuck you, you heartless prick. If he was that bad why did everyone want to work and admire him.

  • C'mon, since when does dying turn anybody into a saint? I sure would never have wanted to work for him. And after watching a few of his shows and how his crew was forced to slap cars together under ridiculous deadlines, I wouldn't have ever bought a car from him either.

  • @logik316 So true. I agree 100% with you!

  • @logik316 it takes a real job to have to meet deadlines it's part of life in and out of the workplace

  • @banone2323

    Yeah, but once he made his crew build a roadster in under a week, just to see if they could. What a slavedriver.

  • R.I.P. Mr. Coddington .... GREAT tribute to a GREAT artist ... thnx

  • what song is this?

  • Hey, Good to see I have a fan. This is a song I wrote when I was seventeen. It's called "you always said Gordon never did you wrong". By me Joshua Prenton.

  • Is that in relation with Gordon Brown?lol

    Also already found the real name of song, but thanks for the comment.(not being sarcastic)

  • Yes it was written for mein fuhrer, the great GB.

    "real name" I gave you the real name.

  • yes i admit he is a bit of a communist / Nazi, but hey what can you do?

  • Boyd Coddington died on February 26, 2008 at the age of 63. The cause of death was officially announced as complications from diabetes. Boyd was hospitalized in January 2008 after a fall on New Year's. Doctors performed surgery and he was expected to make a full recovery.

    RIP Boyd

  • Duane should die and go to hell not Boyd...Duane is the bigger asshole here.. poor thing Boyd.. R.I.P

  • And who employed Duane? Duane was a big fat ass licking idiot. But Boyd was a even greater ass. It was his way or the highway. His staff was great but got no respect at all in return.

  • Boyd was the kind of employer who'd work you to death, and then fire you for having the nerve to die.

  • @mizaleon They're both assholes.Someone should have shoved Duhhane in the hole on top of boyds coffin !! Talk about 2 of the biggest assholes that ever walked the planet !!

  • How did he die, run over by a Car, Truck, no body has said a thing by what means he passed on!!!!!!!!!!!!! Dah!!!!!

  • Evertime I watch a rerun of American Hotrod, I see a man who had no people skills and thought he was god. He treated his staff like shit. He would volunteer his guys to do volunteer work on weekends and couldn't work out why they were pissed. And Duane wasn't a leadmans asshole.

  • he does a great job designing cars but like you say he is an ahole same as Duane

  • No he fuckin didn't, he treated them like shit when they turned on him, like when Charlie one of his best friends who he even lived with, left him to go an work for Foose, so don't start callin people aholes when you didn't know what they were like away from the garage.

    I'm a mechanic, and i know how people get all shitty when times are tough and deadlines need to be met.

    And Duane was just Duane, everybody is different.

    Boyd never deserved to die at his age.

    RIP Boyd, we'll all miss ya.

  • Charlie was ready to move on, it's not Russia...you can leave and work where ever you want. When Charlie quit Boyd acted like a complete and utter asshole. Duane was different...true, but still was a lousy team leader. And as for deadlines, Boyd would make stupid deadlines and then go on holiday. You didn't see Boyd in the garage on the weekends he expected his team to work. Just because you are a fan of Boyd you overlook how he treated his guys.

  • @unapro3 ...i think the same...i a m from germany and watch the rerun sometimes...he build great cars...but heand duane was an ashole....a german guy..ps.sorry for my bad english

  • R.I.P Boyd!b From a Swede..

  • Very nice builds but a rather abrasive character...

  • He sure did lots of blow!!

  • R.I.P Your were a great person!

  • Yeah, he was a prick but the boy could build some mean ass fucking cars. R.I.P shithead.

  • Boyd and family! I will always remember you! Regard from Sweden......

  • fuck that people...if you can not see the guy was a dick head from his show your a poor judge of character... what a prick! it must have been hell to work for him.

  • bitchin

    I respect the man because he knew how to build a car

    otherwise i did not know him and i cannot judge his overall personality

  • yea chip foose is cool, he keeps a good vibe in his workshop

  • thing is he seems like a good person and goes past what most people thinks is enough and keeps going till he get things right

  • Someone should've kicked Duanes (Dwains) Butt. What a friggin whiner..

  • R.I.P boyd! from stavanger norway

    Joachim

  • I think over 10 years of fininace pressure (started with Boyds Wheels) is the real reason of his loss, and trust me (even im young) finnancial shit can eat you away slowly, and with the growing inflation now it would make it even more treu... sad but treu.

    RIP

    Legends Live on forever.

  • Heart attack I bet but then again he always looked like death warmed up. He treated all like crap so what goes around comes around.

  • So what if he didn't treat them right?... This video isn't about what he did wrong.. but for what he was appreciated.. so... we should all respect that.. don't you think?

  • no not really. this video is about HIM.not his creations.

    he was a legend but he was also an asshole,two sides of the same coin.he will be remembered for both sides not just one

  • I feel uncomfortable saying "NICE JOB ON THIS VIDEO" due to 'our' lose of this amazing ICON....but very well put together....

    BOYD, YOUR NAME and IDEAS will live on .....

    THANK YOU for ALL YOU have done.....YOU WILL BE MISSED,BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN!!!!

    LEGENDS NEVER DIE

  • Rather you liked him or not, his ideas were amazing. To be able to create the cars he did! America lost an Icon today in the automotive world. His ideas and creations WILL be missed. R.I.P. BOYD!!

  • RIP Boyd

  • Boyd was great.He has my respect.He was much better to build cars than I ever will bee.I am very sad to hear that he has died.People that dislike him don´t know how hard it is design things as he did .And they will have the brian to understand it.R.I.P Boyd best regaurds John.

  • what goes around comes around, i never saw him respect his employees.

  • me neither! I totally agree with you man!

  • did the pr*ck ever smile?

  • Yes he did you shmuck.

    Show some respect for the dead.

    THE GODFATHER OF THE BURNOUT.

    R.I.P BOYD.

  • RIP Boyd

  • Dude have some respect!

  • He's dead, so RIP, but I never liked the way he treated, terrorized, humiliated his men. He was evil but he was indeed a talented designer.

  • R.I.P. unkle

    nice video..;(

  • American Hot Rod show introduced me to the world of MR BOYD CODDINGTON'S creations, some were nice some not so nice, he was a hard employer thats for sure,sometimes rude ,arrigant, but also sometimes very good to his staff,like outtings and stuff,show the man some respect he does deserve it, after all no matter what anyone says or does he was a HOTROD LEDGEND AND ALWAYS WILL BE...!!!

    R.I.P BOYD.Prayers and condolances to the family.

    regards JBM (Scotland)

  • RIp Boyd, you will be missed

  • R.I.P

  • I read the news today oh boy about a lucky man who made the grade...In Loving Memory Of Mr. Boyd Coddington.

  • Boyd was the elvis of custom hot rod builders. like elvis he will be missed for decades to come.

  • HE WAS THE BEST

  • Nice Video what is the song

  • still te same by bob seger

  • still te same by bob seger

  • R.I.P. Boyd, You left behind some Beautiful Machines and some Great Shirts too! You'll be missed by Car Lovers all over the World.

  • Great tribute to a great hotrod artist!

  • I AGREE

  • a car is not overpriced is someone pays it. He was a boss he had to be on there ass to get the job done. Just like any boss in america, if you got high dollar stuff for a picky customer its got to be perfect, thats why he had to be that way

  • WELL PUT

  • At least he will have Old Roy to talk to again.

  • THATS RITE

  • No loss here, you can take this post down but he was a rude asshole and so is Duane and I hope to see him at SEMA and I will tell him again

  • FUCK U RUDD COCK BITE

  • lession her you pice of shit, dont ever talk shit about my girl. And i would say that to your face. you dont even know who i am yet you assume i watch nascar and fishing i dont. i dont drink either. All that is coming out of your mouth is shit

  • My reply was to WillBackbone...

  • WELL PUT WAX LEAVE THE MAN ALONE

  • NO RESPECT U MUST B YOUNG

  • no i am 57, he treated everyone around him like shit

  • R.I.P Boyd the automotive world has lost a legend.

  • I never actually liked most of his designs. They seemed all to be fairly identical in appearance and his show made me think this guy was simply stuck in the retro crap American car manufacturers seem to be.

    RIP but your cars sucked - imo.

  • Did you know both Chip Foose AND Jesse James worked for him? Maybe you can appreciate the man now.

  • And they both left him on non speaking terms. He treated his employees like shit and nothing is lost by his death.

  • Agreed !! Overpriced cars ,,Underpaid workers,,He treated them like shit thats why everyone left..Every dog has its day..
