Chip Foose and Jesse James were not on American Hot Rods, they are EX employees of Boyd Coddington shop and were already having their own shops and tv shows when American Hot Rods started
Dwayne was the behind most of the drama with the other employees and went running to Boyd hoping to score more brownie points by narc'ing on the other guys for any small infringment. I don't recall him doing anything on that show of value except give the network their drama clips for the, "On the next episode of American Hot Rod..." (cue yelling). Watch the clip of when Brad Quits, that says everything to Dwayne and his attitude to everyone.
It's not worth the money to bust your butt every day only to be dumped on and treated like crap. Never considering the personal lives of your employees is a common failure of the business owner. In the end, what did the dedication and abuse get them? The guy died and their jobs were lost. Look after your own life first!
100%....the "owners" don't realize that the people are the business, without them you have nothing. I've worked with teamsters in NYC and Mormons in SLC, all over North America. I always thanked people for working for me (as long as they weren't F'ing me) and treated them with respect, and in turn, got respect back. I was the site manager of a construction site and had a crew of 8 working directly for me. When it turned out the paychecks were going to be late on a friday and not ready until monday, many of the guys were freaking out because some had child support to pay, some had rent etc. So I covered those guy's pay out of my own pocket. Word got back to the office and the president called me up "why'd you do that"? Me: why should they suffer for the office failing? The very least you can do is make sure they got paid when they were supposed to. "yeah, you're right, how much did you put out"? Me: about 5K. Word got out throughout the company (they had 4 diff sites going at the time) EVERYONE wanted to work for me lol. "damn, he takes care of his guys".
@muskokamike127 wow lucky you had the money to do that. a lot of our managers get less take home pay after deductions. We the workers do standby and overtime. The managers don't they are taken off the standby. And they're consolidated pay so no overtime.
@@chrishart8548 yeah I had MANY a managerial job that was like that.....waiting for a truck to show up on a saturday night while my workers were making time and a half and I was making zero. This one though, I made sure I was hourly, and I was putting in over 100 hrs a week.
American hot rod and American chooper . Had the same issues sort of asshole owners and knuckle head supervisors. But a lot of talent from the actual workers
I used to watch this show with the ole mighty Boyd Coddington! I used to think to myself ..... this should be shown at business school ... and students should be told this isnt how you run your business and treat your employees ! 😮😮😮
By the time the show introduced Boyd Coddington to the general public, he was no longer capable of doing the builds that had made him famous. It was the staff that carried the show. That show was all conflict, all the time. It was a perfect example of a toxic and antagonistic work environment. Like 'American Chopper', it was a show that became unwatchable rather quickly if you were more into the cars than the needless drama.
Yep no one wants to watch people constantly fighting and arguing…we’re there for the bikes and cars …the networks destroyed these shows by creating drama… this is when drama was starting to sell thanks to the real world on mtv…always hated drama induced shows…both these shows woulda done fine with just the builds, but somehow these show creators want to introduce drama
Dwayne treated a lot of the guys poorly on that show. PS: I thought this video was about the staff, you touched on a couple of people, some that weren't on the actual show, the rest of this was about Boyd.
The chassis builder with the huge mustache was the best...he did his job, didn't take crap from anyone and didn't mingle with the other guys. Stayed to himself and was MATURE.
Al. Yeah I liked Al a lot, and Roy, but I think everyone liked Roy. Roy was actually an old school guy that showed you how to do stuff. He tried teaching a lot of people but I liked him teaching Tomas the most, I think because Tomas spoke limited English and Roy was deaf, so rather than talk they just kinda motioned out stuff.
Between Boyd's ego, Dwayne being an ass, the unrealistic builddeadlines, the drama etc, it all leads to unhappy employees. I still think there was something going on between Charley and Boyd's wife, since she was so upset when Charley left Boyd.
I loved all the cars they built but I hated the drama. Dwyane was an A grade bully and a a- hole. The only thing Boyd did was put his name on the completed car, nothing else. It was the crew that kept that place together.
If you’ve watched Wheeler Dealers when they filmed in California there is an episode where Mike Brewer goes to a shop and Mike Curtis helps him. I just don’t remember what episode.
Foose Signed all his creative rights to Boyd. Anything he designed became Boyed intellectual copyright. So he decided to leave AND take his designs with him. I think Foose was sued but ended up winning. Which is why Boyd didn't like him anymore, he felt the designs were his because Foose was his employee.
That isn't what happened at all. When you work for a company anything you make on the their time they own, even new ideas. Foose also didn't decide to leave he was laid off after Boyd went bankrupt. Foose then made his own shop and hired most of the unemployed staff he worked with Boyd which lead to Boyd hating him on the show.
The 2016 Dwayne Meyer crash was alcohol related. The "suicide" doors on the hot rod he was drunk driving almost earned their nickname when the impact threw him out of the vehicle. *Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.*
Best news I read 12 years after the shows debut..hated Dwayne with a passion ,Almost enough to buy a ticket to la and go to Boyd’s shop and ….you know the rest , knock ‘em out
A boss that thinks it's funny to promise the impossible EVERY job gets old quick. Employees realize they're just getting usedto the detriment of their own happiness.
The shops that did these shows used them to prop up their small businesses. Both American Chopper/Hotrod made more money from the tv shows then their business dealings. Paul Sr had to fire almost the entire staff between the last season and Sr vs Jr while Boyd's wife had to shut down the shop within 6 months of his passing.
Unless the show was shot this way intentionally. Leaving out the lead up to the friction. It felt very heavy and saddening to see people treated poorly. People work to live. Not live to work .. The guy who wanted to drop his child to school be a touch late in the morning. But work excessive hours, weekends and more got talked down to. Shows the true character of a person. Sad on so many levels.
I have to say I would have loved the experience of working for Boyd, but I would have put Dwayne’s teeth down his throat after a month. He was a short man syndrome abusive prick.
My Boss,owner and CEO, has dirty hands. Worth millions..... Is 71 yoa and still works as many hours as we do. Plus we all find time to build our own rides as does he ... Love working for him.
What always piss me off is when the owner of the shop is credited as the builder, not the employees. This is the main one. The employees deserves the credit!
Was a green mechanic when this show was going on. I hated the way the mechanics were treated. My first 10 years wrenching was managers just like Boyd. Nothing but babies who would Scream and run around like a baby. These Baby boomers retired around 2009 on. It’s a 180 now.
I remember when this show first aired. I was so excited as I loved all of Boyd’s builds. Seeing what he was like as a person really took the wind out of my sails. His crew was great, but he was a bit of a dick
Roy Schmidt was the best of them. He did his job and ignored the atmosphere around him. Mind you, when Boyd fired one of his co-workers, whom he had been training, he walked straight into Boyd's office and tore a strip off him.
9:24 Jesse James had his own shop and show before American hot rod I think you're confusing him with Jessi Combs RIP who was on the show for a few episodes. Had he known that this would be his legacy and how he'd be remembered I think he'd have either refused to be part of it or had it edited differently, he was actually influential at his peak but was totally washed by the time this show was made and just using his name to milk people into paying stupid money for bog (automotive body filler) filled junk.
Im suprised people actually wanted to work there, their quality was garbage compared to kindig and some of the other shops. Boyd and dwayne were hateful to their employees. Although some big names came out of their shop, foose, jesse james, charlie it was painful to watch the show. The fact boyd wouldnt let charlie paint a riddler tells us everything we needed to know.
I remember a Swedish guy had to drop his kid off at school in the mornings which made him ten mins late at work. Boyd had a big meeting about when employees start in their contracts. The Swedish guy said ok, when do we finish? Boyd said 5pm. Which never ever happened lol
I only watched this show back in the day because it was on discovery HD and surprised they never kept the old high definition footage same with mythbusters.
One. Of my dad's friends, his best buddy bought a car there and he was looking at it before he bought it and that Dwayne came in and said what the f*** are you doing and my dad's friend's friend goes? I'm buying this car. I'm looking at it well. You're not allowed to do that and he said look at the sales guy. Told him give me my money back. I'm going somewhere else and. And and the sales guy had to have a meeting with Boyd. And said we just lost a good customer. So yeah, that Dwayne was an a******
Other good businesses ruined by a TV company promising heaven and delivering hell, American chopper, West Coast motorcycles, fantom works, counting cars, vegas rat rods, big easy motors, leepu & pitbull, carfellas, God-Guns & Automobiles, Jesse James Outlaw Garage and so on and on and on the list never seems to end there have been so many car businesses the tTV companies ruined through turning them into a TV show instead of a restoration and repair business, you can't be both,
Well now with RUclips you can make a channel and just build what you specialize in and if people like it it will take off, no need to introduce drama and fights …the networks suck just like record companies screwing their artists
If it wasn't for Duane, that show would have been so much better, but the double trouble Combo of Boyd and Duane made them laughing stocks of the car world. Id rather deal with ASSMONKEY over those guys
Boyd worked his guys into the ground and Dwayne was a workshop bully and asshole, all this amounts to a toxic working environment, many of the guys there moved on to bigger and better things.
😂 Boyd cottington passed away from a accident st his home and was put In the hospital and then he died it was really hard to believe because he really was good at what he did with these cars for real now.
Boyd is what happened. That shop was toxic before the show ever aired. He stood on the backs of his employees and claimed greatness. He was a narcissist if ever there was one.
Blue bear was right in wanting it keep original to the era of the frame. But safety is where b is correct on boxing the frame. Should have worked together on project management. Outline the car stages and needs, work out their differences. Educated instead of being kicked out but hey drama makes a show.....
Hey Boyd was paying for his car and his labour to build it! It was coming out of Boyd’s shop, and if Boyd said it’s unsafe and it needs to change, well I guess you either listen or lose your job and don’t have a free car built by a fucking legend.
No no no Even the most experienced guys agreed you have to box them..... If I was Boyd, Blue Bear wouldn't have lasted one day working there Arrogant little punk
Drama Drama Drama, Dwayne, lack of Restraint and Intelligence. Foose and Charlie made that company what it was. Boyd was so pissed-off when Charlie quit, and every right, he knew he was destine to failure losing his last Good employee.
@CraigGrant-sh3in , yeah, I know, but to me 1 year= 1season, always has always will September - June ! They can call it what they want, but one season is still one season!!

A lot of great craftspeople got treated like crap on that show!!! Glad to see most went on to success!!!
The best guys got treated the worst.
The chassis builder with the huge mustache was the best...he did his job, didn't take crap from anyone and didn't mingle with the other guys. Stayed to himself and was MATURE.

He may have been experienced but he was a sulky b*tch, always crying about something
Really could not stand Boyd. Making his employees work weekends and holidays just so some rich a-hole could debut the car at some show or event!
Dwayne was the biggest a-hole on the show
Between Boyd's ego, Dwayne being an ass, the unrealistic builddeadlines, the drama etc, it all leads to unhappy employees. I still think there was something going on between Charley and Boyd's wife, since she was so upset when Charley left Boyd.
Beat me to it..Charley was definitely giving her the good news....she was distraught when he left...👍👍
He worked on her chassis rails, and paint n body.😅
@@NemesisRTCW bet he gave her a good lube whilst he was sorting out her chassis...🤣🤣🤣
I think we can all agree , we all loved Charlie. He was a really sincere person
And Beetle Bailey
Beetle was a smart Alec punk
I loved all the cars they built but I hated the drama. Dwyane was an A grade bully and a a- hole.
The only thing Boyd did was put his name on the completed car, nothing else.
It was the crew that kept that place together.
The crew wouldn't exist if it wasn't for Boyd. Funny how that works.
@@ButterfatFarms" It was the crew that kept that place together"

If you’ve watched Wheeler Dealers when they filmed in California there is an episode where Mike Brewer goes to a shop and Mike Curtis helps him. I just don’t remember what episode.
Was he machining spacers for leaf spring mounts? I can remember watching it and wondering why he had popped up.

So he decided to leave AND take his designs with him.
I think Foose was sued but ended up winning. Which is why Boyd didn't like him anymore, he felt the designs were his because Foose was his employee.

Foose then made his own shop and hired most of the unemployed staff he worked with Boyd which lead to Boyd hating him on the show.
That is generally the rule. If you design something for a company, they own it.
Foose is a snake in the grass
I couldn't stand Boyle, Dwayne and Blue Bear.
Its a testament to Boyd Coddington, that he is disrespected even in death.
Yeah that shop was more toxic than a sewage plant. Even 15 year old me knew this
Met Boyd shortly after he realized he lost the rights to his name. He was always very impressed with his own "talent".
The 2016 Dwayne Meyer crash was alcohol related. The "suicide" doors on the hot rod he was drunk driving almost earned their nickname when the impact threw him out of the vehicle. *Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.*

A boss that thinks it's funny to promise the impossible EVERY job gets old quick. Employees realize they're just getting usedto the detriment of their own happiness.
Boyd was a jerk to work for. I’m surprised he wanted to expose his dysfunctional shop to the public.
I think he just thought he looked like a real tough guy. Truth is every one should have just walked out.
The shops that did these shows used them to prop up their small businesses. Both American Chopper/Hotrod made more money from the tv shows then their business dealings. Paul Sr had to fire almost the entire staff between the last season and Sr vs Jr while Boyd's wife had to shut down the shop within 6 months of his passing.

RIP Boyd you show the world how hard it is to start and run a business, as well as how classic a custom vehicle can be as well as his wheels
Only thing he showed is lead by fear and be brutal to people dude was a grade A jerk.
Only thing he did was overpromise cars to people and work his employees into the ground
I don't know why Boyd got credit when he never did any work and only drove his workers into the ground
Well Boyd died right?
Dan was another good guy think he went on to open poor boys valeting supplies
😂 Boyd cottington passed away from a accident st his home and was put In the hospital and then he died it was really hard to believe because he really was good at what he did with these cars for real now.

Garbage show is why. Too much stupid drama.
RIP Boyd... He was one of the best...! Thanks, keep up your awesomeness and go enjoy some nature today...
They didnt have any fun. I wouldn't want to be there.
Long story short the owner died.
SOOO many inaccurate statements here. I was in the shop weekly, and this is not accurate at all.
Drama Drama Drama, Dwayne, lack of Restraint and Intelligence. Foose and Charlie made that company what it was. Boyd was so pissed-off when Charlie quit, and every right, he knew he was destine to failure losing his last Good employee.
And Mike Curtis. He was treated well by Boyd but he couldn’t deal with Dwayne either.
He died. That's what happened
Like all the others, flash television. Crap places to work at.
In it's timeline that was top of the line customization almost 20 years later it may of aged well.
Boyd was a Flog.
Dwayne was the bigger flog though
A design icon
Dwayne was a massive wanker and jackass
Dead Cottington ,
I never liked him !
Just the Cars
He died the end
Who cares where blue balls is today
How do you have 5-6 seasons when it was only on the air 3yrs!
Most of these shows do two season a year .
@CraigGrant-sh3in , yeah, I know, but to me 1 year= 1season, always has always will September - June ! They can call it what they want, but one season is still one season!!

I didn't care for Boyd's face.
Boyd Coddington super ego.
Couldn't stand Boyde
Cars were ugly.
Who cares horrible series period
