Mr. Boyd
A nice chat.

That's Boyd in my Escalade

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.
