First, we heard it as a rumor buzzing around the Internet. Then it became official, and now we have the official press release from Boyd’s PR firm. The entire release is after the jump.
But before we get into that, let me make a comment about Boyd and his legacy.
Before his show came out […]

(Friday, February 29th, 2008) It’s NASCAR (and not even “real” racing at that) or nothing tonight — we’ll probably take nothing.
All times are central.

NASCAR Racing: Sprint Cup qualifying (Speed, 5:30 p.m.)
NASCAR Racing: Sprint Cup practice (Speed, 8:30 p.m.)

Enjoy.

We’re seeing a lot more of the ‘90s Celicas running around car shows and leaving burnt rubber tracks on the avenue. It’s no mystery, either — these things look good and perform just as well. The only down side: Modders have to work hard to make them look and feel like the high-end rides […]

The first mod that almost everyone seems to do to their rides nowadays is a cold air filter. At least that’s what the cool kids with their emo bangs are telling me, but then again I also watched the one kid eat a full jar of peanut butter, so what does he know? Anyways, the […]

Jeep guys are always taking their trucks offroad — but if you’ve got a Jeep and want to go mudding, you’re gonna need some kind of lift kit. Black Diamond just released a kit called the X2, a long arm suspension kit with coilovers that gives you 7″ of lift and 14″ of travel. It’s […]

I’ve got this old truck out in my backyard right now, and one of the things I’ve considered doing is a two-tone paint job with some heavy flake across the fenders. PPG, one of the big names in the custom paint industry, has just introduced the Ditzler line of flakes for paint. You can […]

(Thursday, February 28th, 2008) A new American Chopper makes a bike devoted to everyone’s favorite department store, and you get some good Ultimate Factories reruns.
All times are central.

Unique Whips: Anger Management (Speed, 5:00 p.m.)
Rides: Ultimate Offroad (TLC, 6:00 p.m.)
Pinks: Brian Bassone vs Mike Boccella (Speed, 6:00 p.m.)
American Chopper: Gander Mountain 2 (TLC, 7:00 p.m.)
Ultimate Factories: […]

When you’re into cars at a young age, your first one’s going to be better than a lot of other people’s first rides.  Take this slamming Camaro that young Cliff built and modded himself.  Sure, it’s basic — but he did stuff a ’60s block in this ’80s RS.

We reported back in January that Boyd Coddington was recovering from emergency surgery. Sadly, we’ve now heard that Boyd passed away this morning around 6 a.m. at the age of 63. Love him or hate him, he’s put his mark on the custom scene — a mark that’ll last well into the future. Our condolences […]

There’s a reason they call the new King Shock 4.0 the King Kong, and that’s because it’s freaking big and scary.  The mammoth 4″ diameter allows for more bottom-out control and better valving — and, of course, it’s got a ton of available adjustments.  If you’ve got the sack for it, and the truck […]
