I’m on probation for good judgment and a sunny disposition on another gloomy day. I think a trip to Las Vegas would cure me.

I stood out at the Park and Ride until the tide came in waiting for Pete to pick me up...

California car-building legend Boyd Coddington dies at 63
By JEFF WILSON,
AP
Posted: 2008-02-27 14:44:50
LOS ANGELES (AP) - Car-building legend Boyd Coddington, whose testosterone-injected cable TV reality show “American Hot Rod” introduced the nation to the West Coast hot rod guru, has died. He was 63.

Coddington died at Presbyterian Intercommunity Hospital in suburban Whittier at 6:20 a.m. Wednesday. His La Habra office spokeswoman Amanda Curry wouldn’t disclose the cause of death.

Coddington, who started building cars when he was 13 and once operated a gas station in Utah, set a standard for his workmanship and creativity, with his popular “Cadzilla” creation considered a design masterpiece. The customized car based on a 1950s Cadillac was built for rocker Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top.

And so it begins......

Wife came home and said, "the #26 car is over at the liquor store." Hmmm...about 3 blocks from here...time for a ride.


The boy and his bud. WestCoastGal, can you spot the Dale Jr fan? lol


Future Nascar Officials's, in training...Hey, PRB, that is my Tahoe in the background, look for that in the parking lot, ok? lol.


The cockpit.


4th time he has been in my back yard. It's against my nature to use a "Kodak", the Ithaca is the preferred "point and shoot" device, in this situation...this guy is pressing the odds...

Wow great pics Mac. Thanks.

Son needs some new gear. I hear there’s great stuff at the hauler for Amp/NG and JR Motorsports has a hauler as well.

Is the hauler parade today? I heard some of the HMS - Lowes and 24 were parked at Bellagio. Second source info so ??

What is that critter in your backyard? He’s too pretty to shoot.

That would be a ringneck pheasant. Quite tasty critters.

Yep, the #5 and #88 haulers are in the Bellagio's parking lot......just drove by them coming into work.

Leaving at 1:30pm for the hauler parade.......
