    wow, really. thats sucks, i loved the cars he did, always knew they would be badass when done. the guy had a real keen eye for his craft.

    Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting "HOLY SH-T, what a ride!"

    What a shame. Just think of how many more beauties he could have turned out in his time.

    I've read a couple of reports but they won't say exactly what happened.

    He got along great for his age and what a huge loss it is....

    I wonder if the shop will continue without him??

    As we lose these older guys we lose allot of talent and secrets.

    RIP BOYD!!
