Boyd Coddington dead at 63.

[NTIman]

I don't think a lot of people liked him, but he was a great car builder. That's just how some people handle their business and everyday lives, by being a dick. That shouldn't take away from his talent and legacy of cool cars he created.

I think he was a dick too, that doesn't mean you need to treat your employees like dog crap.

From most of the stuff I watched, he didn't create anything more than trouble for his employees, who were the ones creating "his" creations. I guess I have a lot of respect for him, at least as far as being a has-been, I'm sure in his day he built some cars, but he didn't seem to carry himself as someone I'd want to buy a car from.

Either way, I wouldn't wish death on anyone, and it'll be interesting to see what happens with the company.
