Boyd Coddington

[70charger_boy]

Why do people spend so much time worrying about Foose and Coddington? I think I've seen maybe 30 minutes combined of both their shows. They're soap operas for men.

You know that there is a couple of openings in his shop.  So put on some high heels, a cute mini skirt and some cherry lipstick.

oh and be sure to shave your legs and armpits

Him, Foose,and Galen are all in the same league to me. They are all too rich and snobby that they are too far removed from what is really going on in the automotive hobby.They just cater to the money people and the investor types don't even have any clue of how a car is built or how any of it's systems work.

I bet you wouldn't miss a single minute of the show if that happened.

Talk about karma

I will agree, Boyd seems like a tyrant to work for, and his shop is run like a disorganized mess.

I DON'T see what the problem is with Foose. His crew works together like a Swiss watch. He's been cranking out some very impressive cars, much more so than Boyd. Is it any wonder why Boyd's employees have quit to then work for Foose?
It seems like Foose at least genuinely cares a little about his customers. Sorry, I disagree with the position here about Chip Foose.
Rant off...

I agree. From what I've ssen and heard of Chip, he is a genuine guy with a lot of skills but he knows how let other people show their skills too.
My opinion is that he is a designer that can get his hands dirty when required.
He can paint, but he's smart enough to hire a guy like Charlie.
He can pinstripe, but he's smart enough to get that old guy to come in and do it for him.
The list goes on... I think. He's not one to sit in the office and bark orders.

Getting the best of the best to work for you requires a genuine respect for them and some humility on your own part.

The skill that is highlighted on the show is his ability to listen to friends and family speak about what their "mark" wants and who their "mark" is in life and to the people around them and turn that into a design reflective of the "mark." I'm pretty sure you can't be an arrogant dickhead and pull that off day after day.

Add to that the fact that he puts in 20 hour days to make an automotive dream come true for someone else, and it's hard to think of him in the same hemisphere as Coddington, let alone the same league. He could easily say, "It'll get done when it gets done and you'll like it." but he doesn't.
