died from what???

from being an A$$ !! :lol:

I've read two different reports. One said he had liver failure and another said he died from complications from heart surgery.
Whether you thought he was an *** or not, whether you liked him or not, or whether you thought his creations were bad, it's still a shame that a guy that did a lot for the hot rodding industry had to die so young. I personally didn't like some of the things he did, but I still feel bad for his family. I see nothing funny about that.

WOW. Had no idea. RIP Boyd.

Alotta times I felt he treated his people shitty but I don't wish death on anybody. RIP.

I think that he might have been an *** to work for, but that's part of the reason that his cars are as beutiful as they are, he didn't let peoplee screw off at the wrong times. R.I.P. Boyd

What a shame RIP

RIP Boyd. :cheers:

:huh: Did they bury him in one of his cars?
