Dude.. your in rerun #2 or #3.... the end of the story is that Boyd is really pissed off.... go figure...

i figured it was cancelled....

what time is it on?


BTW - i met boyd at the pomona drags...

he is a shmuck

I don't know Boyd.

I was kinda disappointed in the show though. It shows Boyd as a basically overgown parts order. You never really see him create anything.

Then I guess it really is reality tv, cuz he looks like one on the show...

A friend of mine who runs a custom rod shop is a friend of Boyds.
I met Boyd and his wife when they stopped in to help judge a local car show. Some thought he was a God but I agree with Aaron.

your avatar creeps me out.........in a good way!

Boyd's style is kindoff stuck in the 80's... he likes alot of billet when the "rage" today is "old school" rods...

all the guys that left went to off to Foose, but he's sort of more of the same.. just doesn't scream and yell like an idiot....

All of that "old school" lead work probably did'nt help!
Too bad though- he had talent!

Look at the DA's he has working for him - would anyone in thier right mind pay someone like that $100k+ to make a car? I was really disapointed when that show came out and saw the hack job work those people put out.

i want a blue bear built rat rod...

There's big money in street rods! My friend Snick gets 100k + to start for an outdoor showcar. For a good indoor showcar it'll cost at least double!!

I've never met Boyd, but buddies that have say he's just like what you see on TV; A parts ordering schmuck with no real talent and a very big head...

And mouth...

I wonder if his business dropped off after everyone got to see his crew in action. I call them "the gang that couldn't shoot straight"... Except for Roy and the painter that went to Foose they don't seem to know very much about cars...

What I respect about Chip is.... If you watch Overhaulin its not uncommon to see him laying on the ground sanding out body filler or masking cars for paint. Dipshit Boyd would never ruin one of his ugly ass shirts doing real work. American Hot Rod was the worst career move he ever made.

I really don't care about the stupid pranks they do, but the work is A+. I stopped watching Boyd's show after Charlie quit.

If I had the $$ and it was a choice between Foose or Boyd to build a car for me it would be Foose. I like Foose style, not just with cars but with people also. I'm the type of person that if you want respect you have to give it also, I don't see Boyd doing that, at least from the way he is on the show. And that shop manager of his would have been on his ASS if he talked to me like he does to everyone else in the shop.

The apple does'nt fall far from the tree because his kid is a real piece of work too. He needs a good ass kicken!

The real problem is HE thinks he's a god .............. The Cap'n

There was another guy from the show who wrote a very nice letter to Excellence mag praising an article about one of the older cars. I don't remember his name, but he seems like a good guy. He is one of the lower key guys on the show.

I guess you have to figure that the real work gets done off camera and the histrionics are just for dramatic effect.
