I remember buying a testors van hauler model when I was 12. when I saw it on a magazine I said this is what I wanna do! It’s funny years later I’m working at la habra shop. Really fun memories. Was there till the end. I would do it all over again if I can.
That Aerostar needs to be revived. I remember the Truckin" article on it. Boyds was THE wheel when I was a teen, I always wanted a set on a C1500. When Chezoom came out, I wrote a fan letter to Boyd, and got a wheel flyer in return.
I was getting out of mini trucks and into off roading about the time Boyd's was making their acendance, so I just caught some of this in passing from folk's who were still into trucks when I was getting back into farming (loooonng story). Now, I'm just curious about what was going on when I was trying to keep the family farm in the family.....
I remember growing up in the 80s and 90s. Back then, custom wheels were known as "Boyds" thats what we called all custom wheels and back then I thought thats what they were all called. Boyd Coddington was bigger than life and I only wish I had the opportunity to meet him.
Senior's show ruined his image. The way it was presented, whether it was real or edited for t.v. ratings, was a head scratcher. Why would you want the public presented with an image of an arrogant man who allowed a rude shitbag(Dwayne) run your shop and treat your employees like worthless fools?
@@dinxsy8069 I can't argue that Boyd wasn't up there with the greats, because he was, Cadzilla is a personal favorite of mine. Prior to the show all custom car fans knew of him, probably read interviews, and watched the occasional tv segment. The show came along and the public saw more of his "personal" life. Whether he realized it or not his personality was abrasive, the way he treated his employees was bad, and it looked like he couldn't run a business. It hurt his image. The younger generation who started their car interest when the show came out saw the man before they knew of the legend. Half were into imports by then. So yes HRBB is going for name recognition but how much is it worth? I think alot less then if the show wasn't on.✌️
Inspiration comes from many places, Chris Coddington has taken inspiration from his dad, is that where your inspiration to be an a##hole come from, YOUR dad?
A son continuing his father's legacy . Boyd Coddington was the luckiest man in the world to have a son to continue his dream .
I met Chris and Boyd at SEMA when Catch 22 was debut ,good to see you keeping your dads Legacy going ,keep up the good work
So glad they decided to do this, really missing the shows. The engineering was just incredible.
Does that GMC have am IRS?
Making ur dad proud in heaven
I worked there when they were over in Stanton in the early 90s , good times
Very cool!
Nice production to remember the beautiful creations made by the great Boyd !!.

But how real were the arguments and strife in the show ? Still enjoyed watching it and it influenced me in my designs.
Chris has suffered a lot of loss in his life loosing Boyd his dad and his brother Greg
What happened to Greg?
Great video. What is Jr doing now?
How much for a 18 and 20 inch in the rear Deuce Ninja's
He has to grow up and come out from he’s father shadow.
Things sure has changed since Boyd passed away big time ,
Not a patch on foose
It's a plastic car so it's a kit car with a 350 sbc.
By the way, did I tell you about the wheels.
He is missed.
Shame about the HRBB "Hot rods by Boyd" it's not by Boyd, just a way of getting recognition from his fathers name
@Nicholas Gangi relax your puckered anus 🤣

@@ThomasJones-ij6hv I didn't say the show, prior to the setup car builds. Boyd was there with the greats

Your doing wheels,. What but cars
The wheel designs look like they have been copied from the blades in a kitchen food blender.
