Don't know if you guys have heard but Boyd Coddington died today. He has been sick for a couple months. I know a lot of people don't like him but he was a pioneer in the hot rod/street rod market. RIP

        Sorry to hear the news!  As someone said, he was, not always liked, by everyone, but he had an eye, for some beautifull cars..  Maybe we could send a e-mail to his family,from Canadian Poncho?  hmm  Carl2

From what I understand it started with a fall a month ago. They figured he'd have a full recovery...
