We just got word that world-renowned car customizer, Boyd Coddington died this morning around 6 am. Although we don't have any details on what caused Coddington's death, we do know that he was in and out of the hospital over the past month. A spokesperson for the Coddington Corporation confirmed his passing earlier today and they'll be releasing a statement soon.

Our heartfelt condolences to his friends, family and fans.

This sucks...I liked his cars.

Kinda shocking when guys like Bill Hines and Gene Winfield are still alive and still working.

I wasn't a fan of Boyd's though and don't have a whole lot of nice things to say about him.

He wasn't as much of an asshole in person, but he was pretty full of himself. The only car that I really like from his shop is the WhatTheHey:
