Unbelievable! Looks like complications following surgery. Maybe a systemic infection? http://www.latimes.com/news/printeditio ... 0979.story No pun intended, but Hot Rodders like him are a dying breed these days. So many beautiful, original designs from him. -Trevor |

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 ?? |
