Mind, he did have the signs of a dodgy heart (obvious fluid retention).
Mixed feelings about the guy, probably a great guy as a freind/customer. But a pain on the **** if your an employee or a supplier.
Certainly will be missed either way.

A sad loss indeed 
Only really got to know about him through the American Hot Rod series, used to like the way he'd do the mother of all burn outs before he stripped every car. Great character and a great loss to the Hod Rod scene.
Thoughts go out to all the family.

California car-building legend Boyd Coddington dies at 63
now confirmed.
Sad news,
he had some real talent, but often let his ego run away with him.
wonder who will take the helm now
