Location: Buffalo, NY | I don't know if anyone else saw the show tonight but I decided to tune in as it was recorded the week prior to tulsarama and thought it would be nice to see what their plans were etc etc. I think I have been duped into this reality TV thing for sure. Boyd's wife decides she doesn't like Liz..an apparent new girl who appeared to be highly motivated etc etc..Also makes Boyd's wife look like roadkill in my opinion so what happens...He fires the poor kid for no real reason...then they have their "emergency" meeting when they find out the Vault was full of water. Dwayne says under his breath (the cars a peice of s**t) they laugh and Boyd pretends to care. I'll never watch the show again... |

Location: kansas city, mo. | i agree with the b.s. way the firing was handled. the girl was a nice person and seemed interested and able, but what dwayne said about the belvedere was right on in reality. he is who he is and much of it is for camera i'm sure. i still like the show and will continue to watch even though i don't see any reality in it except for the hot rods. what we see is only an hour of hundreds of hours of tape so obviously there is a lot we do not see that would probably make more sense of things. notice the old hemi in the 32 ford? what would these professed Ch**y and ford monkeys do without the old mopar hemis to upgrade their hot rods? prolly throw a small block Ch**y in and forget it! by the way, is there anything more mundane than a small block Ch**y? gosh they're boring! |

Then, let them get "Big time money makers", and they all go straight to hell...
I rememeber when Boyd was building cars for the average Joe, then this "Big time" thing hit, and he divorces his wife of how many years?, marry's some young chick that's CLEARLY in it for the money, and generally becomes an A$$HOLE!
Boyd SUCKS! |

Location: Vancouver/Canada | The sad part of the show is that it's geared to be a soap opera, not a show on building cars. In reality, most "car guys" would rather be under a car, with crud falling in their face & oil dripping down their arm, than watching some show about how mass amounts of money + ridiculous timelines = a thrown-together car, with numerous short cuts, and a miserable, high-turnover crew. Yeah, it looks as though Boyd's wife(#2) has elected herself to vice-president status. A guy like Dwayne would last, at best, a couple of days - I'm a shipyard steelworker - before someone buried a wrench in his head. Will I still watch the show? Of course, a car nut is a car nut & I need my weekly fix. Too bad they don't spend enough time, on any one aspect of a build, to allow the viewers to actually learn something though. That's why I prefer Kevin Tetz - "Trucks" - as he always makes the effort to teach something.

Location: Los Angeles, Ca | Help me out, guys. and honestly, I'm not trying to defend anyone here. but why does he suck? Is it because he likes the non mopar stuff? Is it because he commercializes hot rodding? Both? other? The fact is he's made a healthy living off of this. He's made many cars. love them or hate them, he's realized his dreams and made them come true. I would love to make lots of money off of building cars, winning awards, becomming honored in the hot rodders hall of fame, etc. He may be arrogant and unfriendly (as witnessed in Tulsa and on TV), but he has accomplished a lot.
Just wondering. I'm NOT trying to ruffle feathers...

Location: Yorba Linda, Ca | You pose a good question, about Coddington.
He is having a car show, this Saturday, at his place in La Habra, Calif.
I have my car entered, (the 59).
Maybe I will get to meet him, and find out, for myself, what kind of a guy He is.
I took the entry form , a picture of the car, and the $35 for the show, to his place , in person,
yesterday, (Tuesday , Sept 4th).
I didn't see any mopars at his place, but that is not unusual, I never see any at John Force's facility either, except those entered in the show, and the last Show, a bunch of Dodges, won trophies, even thou the show was sponsored by the "Corvette Club".
If you get the chance you may want to drop by Saturday, the show runs from 9am till 2, and you still could get your car entered, My fins would love some company of "Her Kind"
If you wish to enter your car, it has to be entered by tomorrow, Sept 6.
Email me and I will give you a fone number to call, should you be interested.
By for Now

EXCEPT for those darn pimp wheels Chip seems to think all cars need to have a good look, it's not a bad show...
7 day resto? Not a chance...At any given time, there are about 50 people workin' on that car...A friend who owns a Mieneke muffler shop here went to see a taping, and said they couldn't even see the car for the amount of people workin' on it...Hell, if i had 50 people workin' on my '58, It would be done in 7 days too.... |

Location: bishop, ca | Well, who made Budweiser the "king" of beers??????? (self-promotion, and the 'Big-Lie', which ultimately gains acceptance).
It is instructive to look at 1950's Budweiser advertising, as it is very laid-back, and suburban-leisure, in its styling; nothing like
the energy/activity/excitement with which it promotes-associates itself, today.
It's former advertising slogan was :"Where there's Bud, there's life".----they shoulda said "leisure/inactivity".....
Pre-"Marlboro Man" advertising is interesting; you didn't see the male character, only a hand, having Navy-flyer's-wings
tatttooed onto the back of it, holding a smoldering cancer-stick.
Meanwhile, back to the Boydster........

Location: Heaven Above (Formerly Oklahoma City,OK) | I Haave atched American Hotrod for some time now, even though my spouse hates it, only because I don''t want to watch the garbage on the commercail channels or the other garbage channels on cable.It appears that all of the qualified help that Coddington has had have all left him, or he's run 'em off. Yeh, it''s another form of soap opera, fer shure. but ocasionally they do some peice of work worth watchin. I'd rather watch the 'ole timers build a chopped/channeled '31 tudor on "Monster Garage", or the chopped 54 chebbie that was done there. but Overhaulin has to beat anything done on coddington's floors, hands down, even if it takes 45-50 people working 16 hour days. They would do that show a favor if they replaced the toothy "A.J." with something more pleasing to the eyes who actually knows something about cars. Guess one person's idea of eye candy is what counts on tv. |

Hey Jimmy:
I appreciate your input. Again, I'm not trying to defend him and I won't refer him as the king of Hot Rods, either. (reminds me of Howard Stern's self titling claim of being the king of multimedia) Some people make complaints without any real reason to back it up. So it makes me wonder why people complain. I'm glad to hear some replies.
To me- it seems that guys like him are part of the evolution of hot rodding. I'm not saying it's good or bad, but if you look at the history of hot rodding it started out like how you described. guys at home using what they could find to make improvements. looks, performance, etc. then, folks start making speed parts. Vic Edelbrock, ed Iskendarian, etc and end up making a good business out of it. more people follow suit and next thing you know it's a full fledged industry for speed parts. From there it leads to shops building cars. Boyd, like many others, is just part of the whole picture. but, he has notoriety for having a tv show. no different than those OC choppers guys who build bikes in the motorcycle industry. Or Bob villa building houses... Many people do these things, many people out there who have real talent receive little to no recognition, but there are whose few who, whether it's through connections, money, or dumb luck, get to have tv shows.
I wish I knew about this car show in so cal. I would bring my car there to see if he'd look at it this time  (those who were at Tulsa may remember him driving by in a golf cart our row of cars looking the other way during the judging car show on Saturday, June 16th. It felt like, to me, that a bunch of our cars were overlooked that day. who knows..)

It would have just pissed you off anyway, Duane with his "It was junk when it went in the ground" comment. I suppose he figures a 57 Ch**y would have better in the same situation. At least the other guys on the show didn't dis the car like he did. |

Thanks Jimmy. I'm starting to calm down about the truck now. The motor is back from the machine shop and I am addressing some old issues ( stripped bolt holes on the oil pan rails and the header bolt holes) before I start re-assembly. I think I will eventually calm down, but if the right stack of money comes along to make me break even on it, it's gone! Once I hear that basically open exhaust again I may change my mind. We'll see.
Boyd sucks. |
