Bloody hell, that's a surprise.

The guy had some skills, even though he seemed a grumpy bastard.

what did he die of?

he didn't look ill at all

and even though he came across as a bit of a cunt at times he was always about what was right and he knew stuff that the otheres were guessing at

rip boyd, i hoe your son keeps the business as it is now and doesn't decide to fuck it up

Sorry but I hate all these RIP comments. Guy was an full on arsehole. Who treated his staff like shit. Look at Chip Foose for how to make cool cars and still get on with your staff.

Not saying her deserved to die or anything.

From what i have read over the years of watching American Hot Rod. Chip Foose wouldnt be what he is without boyd getting him on the ladder. And in my opinion i hate overhauling i think american hot rod was a much more enjoyable program. Especially funny old Roy.

Rip Boyd And Roy.

oh And Charlie Was Class.
