Unbelievable!

Looks like complications following surgery. Maybe a systemic infection?

No pun intended, but Hot Rodders like him are a dying breed these days. So many beautiful, original designs from him.

i luv the 57 chevy. he was a bit of an asshole i think but still good at what he did. i also believe that chip foose is the one that got him kick started. but still a shame he will be missed in the car world...

Boyd's been around for a long time.....He actually is responsible for getting chip foose started. Chip used to work for boyd in his hot rod shop. He was a bit of an ass it seemed but how much of that was for t.v ??
