Default Boyd Coddington of american hotrod
World-renowned tuner and hot rod king Boyd Coddington died at 6:20 am this morning. The cause of death is still unknown. Coddington, founder of Boyd's Wheels and designer of prize-winning custom cars, had recently been hospitalised twice for an undisclosed medical condition. Although he was though to be in recovery, rumours of his untimely death began circulating today throughout the forums. A spokesperson for Boyd Coddington's corporation has confirmed to Jalopnik that those rumours are true. The company will be releasing a statement later today.

I didn't much like his work ethics and the way he treated his guys, leaving Dwayne to wield the whip, but RIP for the man who made holywood hotrods.
