Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

A great loss to the community. He contributed alot to the industry and alot of talent has come out of his shop. I never cared for the show or at least how it appeared it was run (still watched it though). R.I.P.
 
Copied my post in response to this thread on our local board.

Not to sound ruthless, but this really comes as no shock to me. I saw him out at the GoodGuys show the year before last and he looked absolutely awful. I was amazed at home much better they can make someone look on television.

Even if you didn't like the guy, he did do a lot for the hot rodding community, and for that he will be missed.
 


This is unbelievable, so I guess no more possiblility in my hoping tha american hot rod would come back on discovery.
 
It is a terrible loss for the hot-rodding community.... He will be missed,

I hope he has kids to carry on his business, It would suck for his company bearing his name to die with him
 
Yeah he has Chris who is active in the company and designs every single one of their show cars and most of the cars they sell without being custom made specifically for a single person (like the boydster).
 


Wow. Your mean. I do agree. But will you just promise me one thing;) When I die, talk about how great I was.


If you don't, I will haunt you.
 


Who knows what will happen to his company, but I am wondering if his fued will live on with Chip Foose and/or if chip will try to buy the company out and take the remainder of his employees.
 
Wow that's sad. He made some amazing hot rods. I just met him a couple years ago too at the Good Guys Nationals in Ohio. Big loss to the automotive community in my opinion.
