The King is dead .... Long Live the King ! 
We’re very sorry to report the passing Wednesday of Boyd Coddington , King of modern day streetrodding.   Boyd launched a new era of Rodding with the introduction of his billet wheels and his awesome creations in metal. His work brought new breath and added a whole new dimension to a hobby so many of us loved ... Boyd showed us how to “dress up” our hot rods ...sometimes to the dismay of hard core hot rodders
