Duane the shop foreman for American hot rod was in illinois yesterday!!

So get this the dealer where i bought my hhr Ken Nelson of Dixon Illinois (they know im a gear head) had a mini car show yesterday and Duane the shop foreman for boyd coddington was there and them weenies didnt let me know i was pissed!! So they gave me an autographed American racing rims poster (they bought out coddington by the way) sounds like Boyd has run his wheel buis into the ground!! But i just thought some might like to know!!

I thought on one of the episodes Boyd sold the rim business. That is the one his ex-wife was involved with..

Could be wrong..

After watching the show on Discovery, it's amazing anyone would want to work for him.

Let's all remember that Boyd Coddington has killed his businesses at least three times now...kinda' like American Chopper, too much drama not enough creativity and business sense...Figures that American Hot Rod and American Chopper are now both on TLC, perfect bookends....whine, whine, whine instead of being incredibly thankful for the blesings of being able to make an fantastic living doing what most of us would give body parts to do...Hey was I ranting ??? hahaha my bad !!!
