Boyd Coddington

[Magnumcharger]

Everybody has an opinion of this guy.
Just for fun...yours can be counted...NOW!

Jerkwad is to nice a word....

Egotistical Knucklehead is more like it.

[41husk]

maybe it is just the show, but I have never seen him work on anything he didn't screw up.  Dewayne seems to know his stuff but is a jerkwod!

[whitehatspecial]

He may have been a legendary HotRod builder at some point, much of that should have been attributed to his talented former employees.  TV has exposed him as a little self-absorbed tyrant who is an unreasonable employer. He is a prick, his foreman Dwayne is a bigger prick and I wouldn't let them build a chicken coop for me.

Well said bro. Right on the money.

Didn't Foose used to work for him?

[bsakal]

Yup, Foose, Mike, and one of his former painters Charlie

[70charger_boy]

Foose was the vice president of boyd's company

[69DodgeCharger]

And Charlie filled in the gap between........so to speak.

Don't sugar coat it, tell us how you really feel...I totall agree, though.  Just comes off like a douchebag and it looks like they take some shortcuts on the cars that don't seem to jibe with the prices they probably get.

You didn't have "Dick" as a choice - - so I went with "jerkwad"

well, she did cry uncontrolably when he left. i've only seen that reaction during break ups. but who am i to say.

[Rolling_Thunder]

I've met the guy...     arrogant to say the least...    but most people in this hobby are...    including Galen, Julius, and the like...      people who are cool in this hobby - Foose, Mike Ross, Steve Strope, and Matt Delaney....     all cool guys...

The guy I got my 66 Charger from knows him. Coddington built one or two cars for him and you summed it up JUST ABOUT perfectly, the only part you missed was all around @$$hole!

  But I like how he fires someone every episode. That's job security taken to a new limit.

[TUFCAT]

Not looking to good for old Boydster right now  - - 66% of us think he's a   Dick ,  er...um, wait a minute..... "Jerkwad".   Anyway you call it,  that's still a pretty bad reputation.....especially from such a compasionate and forgiving group such as us.

"hey, ah guys, yeah... we're gonna build this 32 roadster from the ground up and.....ah.....we have 4 weeks to do it"

[TUFCAT]

"hey, ah guys, yeah... we're gonna build this 32 roadster from the ground up and.....ah.....we have 4 weeks to do it"

That's FUNNY 

Now here's the "correct" response:...........

Really??? ....Then go F*CK yourself boss!!

I like the other thread about the belvedere when boyd's name came up and some guy said "I wouln't let him fix me a sandwich" 

[TUFCAT]

That was me ....and thank you,  I'll be here all week,  .....please tip your waitresses, and try the veal.    

Now, back to the Boyd bashing.
