Before Boyd's
passing, I had the privilege to...
I'm
standing in Boyd Coddington's shop in La Habra California,
because I
left a
message on his answer machine about making an Estate/Hot Rod Golf Car
together. Yea, it was that easy with Boyd, he says lets grab
some
lunch, so walking past a dozen beautiful rides we jump in my
beat up
old work truck, and head out. I got like 12 bucks
with me...
he has me turn into a bowling ally diner, Cool, I can do this.
I got
a BLT and he had a cup of soup. I found him quite at ease and focused
on the conversation at hand, no small thing for a man who has so much
on his shoulders. He was as interested in me as he was about
the
project. What did we talk about? Well I grew up on
a cattle ranch in
California, and he on a Dairy in Idaho. Just so you know,
there's an
instant camaraderie with someone who knows a back busting 7 day work
week in unfriendly weather. Oh, he payed for lunch.
This was the
one time I got to work with such an incredible team of professionals.
and it was a joy. (I wanted to redo
the front of the roadster to match it up with Eric Brockmeyer's
beautiful
rendering, but that never came to be.) Just like that
conversation
with Boyd, it's the people you remember. I got to meet his
family, and see up close the charity work that meant so much to him.
Not bad for a farm boy. |
