California car-building legend Boyd Coddington dies at 63

He had a show on The Discovery Channel called American Hot Rod..VERY talented car builder..

That's a real shame.  I used to watch his show all the time.  Wow. 63 isn't that old.

Him and chip foose are two of the main reasons iam going to school for auto body. I really want to be the next chip foose. I Wish his family my best.

He looked like crap for 63.

Awesome designer.  He'll be missed come barrett-jackson time.

Wow, is this for real? Can't find any other info out there....

Wow I never saw that one coming. Man 63 is not that old at all, I wonder what the cause was.
