Yeah, I just heard that from someone hear at work. Although I didnt care for attitude, at least on TV, it is definitely a major loss for the car community.

Tom posted the story in the chat box yesterday Josh. I say the guy was a dick. But like joe said it is a loss to the car world.

Exactly. Just because you have a talent, does not make you a likeable guy. Boyd aliented some of the BEST (Chip Foose used to work for Boyd) in the industry because he was kind of insane. That does not erase the fact that he was an ENORMOUS talent, and his cars will be missed, if not his attitude.

Ontopic- GOD DAMN is that funeral procession going to be wicked. Probably the best car show on earth there.
