What a loss to the auto enthusiest industry. Yup, he had his moments, but also had a style and true love of his work. His accomplishments will not be forgotten and treasured as collectables.
Prayers go out to his friends and family.

I think a lot of that was just show being on tv and all. I'm sure he was intense and probably could be hard to work for at timesbut just about anyone on top of their game likethat is. I read this from a link in the above link so he did have a good side:
Boyd Coddington was less known as a father of five boys and a man who had an infectious laugh. To many he was the under-the-gun, deadline-stomping star of "American Hot Rod" a persona that led some to believe he was cantankerous. Actually, Coddington was a humble and somewhat shy individual who loved kids and was a true philanthropist. Coddington has continually employed those were mentally challenged and gave them a welcome environment to learn and work. Through his "Coddington Foundation", Boyd and his wife Jo gave to the community and an array of charities.
