Wow didn't see this one coming. He passed away yesterday morning


We just got word that world-renowned car customizer, Boyd Coddington died this morning around 6 am. Although we don't have any details on what caused Coddington's death, we do know that he was in and out of the hospital over the past month. A spokesperson for the Coddington Corporation confirmed his passing earlier today and they'll be releasing a statement soon.

awwww I'm so sad to hear about this, i watched his show all the time. He was a brilliant hot-rod builder, and he'll definitely be missed in the business. Some of the designs of the cars and the rims he made were outrageous and so COOL! It said in the news that he was a diabetic for many years, and may have had complications from a recent surgery. I'll send out a prayer for his wife, Jo and his family for strength in their time of sorrow. A great talent that left way too soon.
