I'm reading this on alot of places, but can't find a credible news source to confirm.

If true, a sad day ...

Wikipedia confirms it ...

On boydcoddington.com the forum is "down for maintenance".

Not really my scene, but it sucks to have a car-guy like him pass away. RIP

San Diego paper - love him or hate him, no doubt a one of a kind guy

He was only 63....still too young.

Very sad indeed. RIP

Didn't see that coming, RIP!

I did enjoy watching the show at first!

RIP.
He was good @ what he did... but did look like an a..hole dealing w/ his employees... at least from the tv show.
sad day for the automotive industry, especially hotrod.
i liked the show... except how he badly managed time + ppl.

Howdy,

If you mostly knew about him from the TV show like I did, this autoweek article was pretty nice:

I would take the way he was portrayed as a person and as a boss on TV with a grain of salt.

When "hollywood" gets involved, it makes even the best of people look like jerks.
