Folks Of Interest S.O.B. Sons Of Boyd To Open New Business

I thought that Chris had a business building of road trucks for shows?

 

I was never a big fan of Boyd's from the moment he started turning out cookiecutter rods that all looked alike 25 years ago.

But regardless of that legacy, he also created a few total originals. That "A" pickup in the photo is a perfectly proportioned rod and if you can't recognize that fact and look beyond the wheels, then you probably have anger issues like the bro's are trying to pretend they have.

I Wish them well, but for their sake, I hope they learned business at a real school, not the School of Boyd. Frank Sinatra Jr.'s singing career comes to mind here.

As far as that phony TV show goes, I figured out that it was 2% car building vs. 98% play-acting the first and only time I watched it. If you actually know the name of the characters, you watched it too much!

 

The difference being that Blackie and Ed were real rebels. When an entire generation projects anger, they aren't rebelling, they're conforming.

 

just found this on american hot rod forum
Sadly, I found this recently:

"The Coddington Garage Closes their Doors One Coddington company closes as another plans to move June 16th, 2008--- La Habra, Ca Boyd Coddington Hot Rods will be closing their doors, Friday June 20th, 2008. After the untimely death of their founder, Boyd Coddington in February, the Coddington Garage team and family tried to continue on with business as usual. The battle they faced was too much to handle. After Boyd’s p***ing, his wife Jo took over the business. She had rather large shoes to fill in the absence of her husband. With the team of machinists, fabricators, and paint and body guys behind her, she gave it a shot. Unfortunately, running both the hot rod shop and the wheel shop was too much for her handle on her own. The cars and builds that are not complete at the time of closing will be moved to two new shops. Both shops are being run by former Boyd Coddington employees. Dan Sobieski, a fabricator and long time Coddington employee, will be opening his own shop July 1st. Sobieski will be taking a few from the Boyd Coddington team to his new shop in Anaheim, Ca. Abraham Rodriguez, a newer employee, will also be working on some of the vehicles at his shop. His specialty is in paint and body, but his shop will be able to do anything the Coddington Garage did. Jo will continue on with the wheel shop. There are plans for the company to move from their location in La Habra in the near future. For further information please contact Jo Coddington ..."
Be well Jo and the gang!

Bless All Who Serve

 

But, I want to be a rebel like everyone else.
