Did boyd really build this????

I found this pic while surfing.....it was titled as "coddington".....did he build it?......has he given up?.....will rosie and the donald kiss and make up???

 

yes.

i wonder who designed it?

 

Looks AWFULLY Foose-ish to me.

 

Well, his star painter, and best machinist are gone. It makes sense to go with primer and smoothies doesn't it? It certainly does look like one of his smoothsters or boydsters or whatever the hell he calls them

 

Maybe it's the Flatblackster.

 

Just hope that ol' Floyd don't run out of plastic, eh!

 

If that is the same car that was at the GNRS last year it is called the RATSTER!

 

I wish that dude would just go someplace where I never hear about him again!

 

I hate it.

 

Who?? Floyd Cotterpin?

 

Hey. Maybe he had a customer who insisted on having it done HIS way as opposed to Boyd's, er..... Floyd's er.....Noid's..........whatever

 

I wonder if the 2 clowns in the car even know where to put the gas in. Just looks like they forgot to paint it. It needs a big dent in the fender so that it looks driven.

 

yep, its the ratster. says so on valve covers. man thats a coolest rat rod if ive ever seen one.

 

Fiberglass is kinda hard to dent.

Can we get back to what we do now?

 

If you're going to bash boyd, at least be original.... and funny.

That one hurt me...

The car has no soul... Did you expect something more/less...

In fact I bet that it sucks a little of the soul out of the cool cars at that show as it slurps by...

Like David Byrne says...

Same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...

(Add forearm chopping motion to taste... then stir)

 

All Boyds stuff is cool,Just ask all the GoodGuys worshipers here.

 

Surprised they didn't"patina"the fiberglass,maybe it's,aged resin!!!hahaha

 

They just ran out or bright orange paint. thats all

 

Boyd probably hasn't built a car in 12-14 years. He has the grunts do it, then takes all the credit.

 

Good luck finding the gas cap fromwhat ive seen old raffy just bondos over them.

 

That photo was taken at Del Mar, probably at the Good Guys meet. If it is at GNRS this month I'll take a closer look at it...

 

The way you guys fawn all over him (good or bad) reminds me of a kindeeeegardner boy pulling on pigtails of lil girls they have a crush on. Just kiss him and get it over with, geez.

 

boyd isn't a cute little girl....he's a big fat asshole.

 

You know, you guys don't know shit. When you don't know what you are talking about, it is generally better to keep your mouth closed.

The guy driving it is Gil Losi, owner and founder of Variflex Skateboards and more recently Team Losi Racing, manufacturers of World Champion radio control cars.

He sure as fuck knows where to put the gas in his cars.

That car is steel.

That is the body built by Marcel and Luc, then shipped to Australia to use as a plug for the Boydster III bodies.

Gil also owns the steel Boydster II.

And yes, it was built at Boyd's.....and yes, Gil wanted it that way.

 

So....what's your point???....I still see a hilarious attempt at being cool, built by a crook.....and I know what I'm talking about.

 

TD1932 Thanks for setting the record straight. I also remember reading that this car was a steel 'buck' for the fiberglass mold to make more glass bodies in the future.

Like Boyd or not, you cannot argue with his notairity. He has done it his way.

Kermit

 

Well sorry kids. It looks like a been there done that to me. Maybe because there's 'glass copies at nearly every street rod show in the nation? Gil who? Skateboards and RC cars...well whaddaya know.

 

My point was to clarify that it is not a 'glass car.

And that the owner/driver is not a bumbling moron as some implied in this thread.

Gil Losi is a friend of mine.

If you want to speak ill of Boyd - fine. Gil is a hell of a nice guy.

 

OK by me...thanks for the clarification....

 

I for one think Raffy is cool and from what I saw in the show he works hard. Guy is just trying to make a living even if he does bondo everything.
