[Sneaky Peaky]

Couldn't see a thread on this..

Lot's of reports across the net but nothing official that I can see..

Only 63, sad if true - enjoyed watching those shows..

apparently so, no news reports and nothing on his website yet, just on wikipedia, but we all know thats not the most reliable source.

Sad if it is true

sheesh that was a shock.

 

[MrSix]

That's a tragic loss....

Although he could be a bit of a numpty at times, I do beleive he valued his staff and he was certainly THE best hot rod builder of his time.

RIP Boyd.

RIP Boyd

He wasn't the best time planner, but his team pulled through most of the hard times.

A sad loss for the industry, and my condolences to family and friends.

But, from watching the show, I'd say he treats his staff very poorly. Which is why he lost at least two of them to Foose.

Wow, sad news.


















Who the hell is he?

Never seen American Hotrod?
Some of the staff were seriously funny in an odd way

RIP Boyd, you and your crew made some quality cars :]

Sad news

I wouldn't have liked him as a boss, but there's no denying he was a genius at what he did.

RIP

Nope, never heard of it. I don't have a 'Sky' thing so this may be why.

I loved the show, RIP Boyd.

But he was a crap boss, expecting everybody to drop their social life just cause he's promised an unrealistic date.
