AlexJames Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Just found out that Boyd Coddington died in 2008... which I think is a real shame... the hot rod shop and everything has been closed down... real shame... But this deep thinker did make me chuckle! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miguel Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 RIP to Boyd, but Chip foose produces nicer looking cars - Boyd will be rolling in his grave at that, but most of his staff thought so too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miguel Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 Duane and Bernt run their own shop now. I don't think WWC agreed with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sams Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 They didn't fit in with the way WWC work n run but tbh I wouldn't want to work there either, a friend of my worked in boyds shop and he said the tv show does not do the shop justice, it not tight deadlines like you see on tv it was rather layed back, but he new how to get the best out of his employees Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miguel Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 WCC (don't know why I wrote WWC) does seem a bit gangster TBH. As for Boyd's portrayal on TV, well it's a TV show so some scripted drama is to be expected. I've no doubt the atmosphere in real life was a very different one, but the staff turnover painted a very different picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
