damn...

"I think we all should do a burnout for him tonite as we leave work."

**LowlyfeGTP** · 02-27-2008

A great loss to the community. He contributed alot to the industry and alot of talent has come out of his shop. I never cared for the show or at least how it appeared it was run (still watched it though). R.I.P.

**Abrasive** · 02-27-2008

Copied my post in response to this thread on our local board.

Not to sound ruthless, but this really comes as no shock to me. I saw him out at the GoodGuys show the year before last and he looked absolutely awful. I was amazed at home much better they can make someone look on television.

Even if you didn't like the guy, he did do a lot for the hot rodding community, and for that he will be missed.

I was never a fan of his, but he did do a ton for hot rodding, and will be missed

**MTXGTP** · 02-27-2008

i just got chills man thats sad 63 thats young R.I.P.

**Iron Indian** · 02-27-2008

I can't believe he died. He was in Tulsa not too long ago...

**GTPluv** · 02-27-2008

Thats terrible!!! Holy Cow. Unbelievable.

**s1795so2** · 02-28-2008

This is unbelievable, so I guess no more possiblility in my hoping tha american hot rod would come back on discovery.

**02BlueGT** · 02-28-2008

It is a terrible loss for the hot-rodding community.... He will be missed,

I hope he has kids to carry on his business, It would suck for his company bearing his name to die with him

**s1795so2** · 02-28-2008

Yeah he has Chris who is active in the company and designs every single one of their show cars and most of the cars they sell without being custom made specifically for a single person (like the boydster).

**Street Wolf** · 02-28-2008

I never liked the guy, he was a dick to everyone.

**GTPluv** · 02-28-2008

Wow. Your mean. I do agree. But will you just promise me one thing

When I die, talk about how great I was.

If you don't, I will haunt you.

I can't make any promises

I feel like a dick for thinking that about a guy that just died at the age of 63... but yea i agree completely

**UR LOSN** · 02-29-2008

This is a shocker. I wonder what will happen to the company....

**s1795so2** · 02-29-2008

Who knows what will happen to his company, but I am wondering if his fued will live on with Chip Foose and/or if chip will try to buy the company out and take the remainder of his employees.

**Gearhead43** · 02-29-2008

Sad... Boyd did alot for the hot rod community.. First Rex Orr .. now Boyd C... What's next??? grrrrrrrrrr

**Kyle650** · 02-29-2008

Wow that's sad. He made some amazing hot rods. I just met him a couple years ago too at the Good Guys Nationals in Ohio. Big loss to the automotive community in my opinion.
