Probably stress related, on his show, he was always angry and screaming.

[97'Scort]

One of the last true hot-rodders. He will be missed.

[Hash_man]

wow, RIP thats a big loss to the hot-rod community. Shame to hear him go at such a young age.

[m3_powered]

R.I.P..sad to see such an icon go so suddenly

[BigBearWest]

RIP

Sad stuff. He was one of the first famous rodders I ever met. When I was a kid I always wanted my 36 ford 5 window coupe to have some Boyd wheels on it.

Definitely a blow to the street rod hobby.

[Mr_ET]

Great builder and well respected in the industry, he will undoubtably be missed by all.

RIP Boyd

[teggypimp95]

Yeah i think the memorial car is a great idea. Foose boyds team could make an awesome car.

[TKRIS]

I hate Boyd's cars, and I hate the fact that they're refered to as "Hot Rods" even more. That said, he did a lot for the automotive community, and was a good ambassador for the hobby.

Also, if I ever find myself in possesion of a '35 3-window, I'll probably be able to get 5x what it's worth because someone watched too many episodes of "American Hot Rod"...

RIP Boyd.

Regardless of the competition, an icon has passed. I am pretty sure he will pay his respects.

RIP Boyd.

I personally didn't like his style either (I am building my 36 as a traditional rod). However he has done a ton for the hobby/industry and that cannot be denied.

No need to dump on a dead guy just because you don't like billet valve covers and CNC wheels. To each his own.

[Dj_Stylz]

Damn that's to bad. RIP:(

Thats cool, I'm building my '38 Chevy half ton at my dads farm.
it was either the 38 or the 39 that I know of today (still in farmers field), but I liked the '38 the best (looks wise).
:bigpimp:


yeah Boyd was definately a big wig in the hot rod sector. Everything he touched was worth in the six figures. Some of his rods would fetch a VERY VERY pretty penny at the Barrett Jackson auction.

[hjr]

dont want to speak ill of the dead so.......

[stvtec]

That sucks, I would have never seen that coming.

[jdm_jspec]

wow! thats a surprise i used to watch his show all the time.
R.I.P to one of the car customizing greats.:(
