Although we don't have any details on what caused Coddington's death, we do know that he was in and out of the hospital over the past month. A spokesperson for the Coddington Corporation confirmed his passing earlier today and they'll be releasing a statement soon.

thats the only way to get shiit done when you run your own business and need things done on time. the company will live on though, it's too big to just die out.

There are other hot-rod shops that would be more of "1st call" shop than Foose Designs w/ Boyd outta the mix. He and Chip are masters at 2 totally different kinds of things... Foose is more of a "resto-mod" guy. The things that he does to Classic numbers-matching cars (fender changes, painting cars a color not originally available for that chassis, changing body lines to HIS liking, etc) real OEM restore shops laugh at. But holy sh*t it's sad that Boyd is outta here. Shows you how fragile life is really is - why **** around?? Have some fun - get laid... f*ck a hooker raw - ya know? Do cracl at least once just to say u did - ha ha. LMAO!!!! There is a diff between being alive and "just living" -- make the choice.

I think the new wife and the ex-wife are gonna butt heads. They respected ea other (kinda) on the show, but not sure that in real life that's gonna work w/out Boyd there to diffuse the situation. I hope his will was VERY detailed, or I can see the shop not existing in 5 years.

Show me the ones that look like sh*t.

[RutRoe]

That sucks. RIP. A true visionary for so many years. You youngins may not realize all the cool cars he built, but some really cool ones.

Im not one of these retarded people that are dissing a guy who passed away today.

I do want to say though that my favorite custom creature has always been Chicago's Troy Trepanier.

Check Some of his creations. (Bumongous and Chicayne are my favorite customs ever)
