If you go around asking people about the top car builders in the business, chances are you'll hear the name Boyd Coddington. But we're not just talking about your everyday factory cars here. We're talking about hot rods! These are the big, attention-grabbing, and seriously sexy cars that were born during the Golden Age of car culture. And Boyd Coddington, well, he's one of the legendary builders known for creating these bold and captivating machines.
Anyone familiar with hot rods should know that Boyd Coddington has been responsible for building some of the sweetest hot rods in existence. He transformed the backyard hobby of tattooed guys in T-shirts into a high-end car customizing industry. As the owner of the Boyd Coddington Hot Rod shop, he gained further fame through the reality TV show American Hot Rod, which aired on the Discovery Channel.
The show provided an inside look at Boyd and his crew as they crafted breathtaking hot rods and custom vehicles. However, it wasn't just smooth sailing; the show was filled with frequent conflicts, intense arguments, and a high turnover rate among staff members. After a successful run of five seasons, the shop eventually closed, and the show went off the air in 2007. Join us as we find out what really happened to Boyd Coddington from American Hot Rod!

Never a fan as he treated people like crap , Foose on the other hand survived and is my favorite car guy . Much respect for this down to earth car guy.
Ha Foose is a dick...too...both had huge egos with big heads ...
Boyd was ok in my opinion but man that Duane dude was something else
Boyds ego let him down as for Dwayne he is a little girl
The way you said billet got me
What did Boyd ever actually do except tell others what to do? He took credit for everyone else’s skill. He should have been a politician
Boyd Coddington may have been talented, but if the way he appeared on the show was reality and not a staged act for television, he was not a great human being.
Terrible to think of someone that way.
@@jamessanders6788 I thought about what you said, and what I said is actually kind of messed up.
Boyd clearly was a toxic guy who was insecure about his “competition” and allowed his little henchman Duane to bully his subordinates and did nothing about it other than a conversation which had no effect.
It is possible that all that hostility was staged drama for the show,and I’m pretty sure that some of what was shown was “modified” by producers. But Boyd Coddington and Duane (I forget his last name) were real people. Their business existed.
If they weren’t like that in reality, they would not displayed such egregious behavior on camera that way. Did they sign a contract without being clearly aware they would be required to act like tyrannical ***holes on camera? If so, that’s sad.
However, the way they acted was genuine and believable. It would take some chops for a nice guy to pull off the things Boyd did on the show. Last I checked, Duane and Boyd are not known thespians.
@@jamesbowers5946 Good to hear. I am guilty of initial reactions that can be of the extreme bent as well occasionally.
I am sure Boyd had a way of being a prick when it comes to things he was particular about, as I do recall the drama from the show. But remember this was in the early stages of reality TV and I can clearly remember thinking that most of it was an act for ratings and the producers encouraged it. (Same as I would eventually think American Choppers was over the top for audience.)
The show was competing with American Choppers for viewers; Can't Miss TV - the drama pulled the American eyes and crossover viewers in.
Hell, for a perfect example, look at Real Housewives of Who Cares... that crap is so fake, but it pulled people in that are into that messiness and theatrics. Now look at the influence... that way is real life for fans that try to play out the same drama at home. But I disgress.
Either way, I have a fond spot for Boyd Coddington because his design was revolutionary and I remember it so vividly in my youth. RIP to the fella.
@@jamesbowers5946Boyd is dead, been for years. Dwayne is a drunk nowadays. Karma.
@@miikkam4319 and Mike has his own company
Karma killed Boyd. I'm sure everyone in that shop misses him.😂🤣
I know one of the guys that owned a company that supplied Boyd’s shop with a lot of parts for their builds, after he went bankrupt he left a lot of debt with a lot of people and ruined his already shotty reputation
He died . Thats what happened.
Yeah, really nothing new in this video. Fact is, i would never work for a boss like he was. This was a Hot Rod garage not the NASA.
@@danijuggernaut after he fired Mike I lost all respect for Boyd he was a dick
His shop manager/foreman was a total prick. Boyd hired idiots, and they ran his crew off. Chip Foose made his start with Boyd, then left to start his own shop.
@@markbremmer8642agreed…I myself had a boss just like that Duane prick….guess it was my fault he was only 5’5”
@@markbremmer8642 people like that get things done people who critisize others who push others to get things done are wimps and cant hang. If you cant take pressure you dont belong
Duane.was toxic to the company
It's pronounced like it's spelled: BILLET. Like bullet but with an I, instead of the U.
did he even build a car? i never saw him in the shop
rest up hawk senior he never read between the lines
Built some beautiful cars but his terrible behavior and treatment of employees was a real turnoff. He was just a miserable person.
Many of the people he had working were unemployable, the kid that had the accident and Charlie working behind his back, I have had all that and one day i sacked all 70 plus of people that attended jobs we were doing, it is very difficult to be in business, you should try it sometime.
@CarlosAlberto-ii1li Charlie, Mike and Duane all worked for Foose after Boyd died. All also have (or had) their own shops. Unemployable may not be the most accurate representation of his crew. That said, he gave a lot of these guys (including Chip) their break in the business and that can't be overlooked.
@@CarlosAlberto-ii1li Boyd was very abusive toward employees and a miserable person to work for. He was also vindictive and petty. You should try working for somebody like him, it may change your mind.
He will be followed yes he will
What’s bah-lay? I know what bill-it is😂
Duane was on Boyd's sons podcast some time ago. He claims (grain of salt) that the show needed drama and that while there were things that were real (like the feud with Chip, being mad that guys went to work for him) a lot of quitting and firing scenes were scripted for drama. As were a lot of the dick things that Boyd and Duane said.
Dear A-holes, use this as a lesson: no matter what you do in life, if you treat people like dirt, THAT will be your legacy.
Boyd was 63 when he passed away. Fix that please!
Can they finish my hot rod ??
No
Yea he was a jerk with his employees and fans 😂😂
It’s not Butter-ra
He died
Whos is this guy ??? Check your history before telling it sheeeshh….
PS!i its not a longboard its a dolib
3:13 hahahaha 🤣
Boyd rotted from the inside... just like his shop...
😂
