Dayam! The man knew how to build a rod. He's among the few people who could take a antique car, modernize it so much almost nothing remained of the original, and never loose a single bit of the retro styling.

I would have loved to meet him.

God Bless.

He turned 60 on the show, so late 50s to early 60s.

Coddington had been hospitalized in January, shortly after New Years' 2008 following a fall at his home.He was discharged, but complained of continuing complications and was readmitted just a few days later to Presbyterian Intercommunity Hospital in suburban Whittier. After being readmitted, doctors performed surgery and Boyd was expected to make a complete recovery. Coddington died on February 27, 2008. His company has released a statement stating that Coddington was "a long-time diabetic" who "died from complications that were brought on from a recent surgery."
