Comes as a complete shock to me. Although my taste run a different path I have nothing but respect for his style and innovation. Chip Foose came up through Boyd's garage.
This will mark the passing of an era.

1st thought was "you've got to be joking"

We lost another hotrodding pioneer. Someone I could identify with a little more than Boyd.

Hot rodding and racing lost one of its luminaries Sunday, March 2nd, when "Lil John" Buttera passed away at the age of 67.

I've always heard they go in 3s. All were in their mid 60s.
Tragedy struck Saturday at Auto Club Famoso Raceway when nostalgia Top Fuel racer John Shoemaker was killed in a high-speed crash.
