It was a TV show about working relationships and included all the various stereotypes. You see this all the time on these shows: you have the quiet thinker, the dumb as a board goof-off, the boss’s punching bag, the mean boss, etc, etc. Who would watch a show about nice, normal guys actually building cars? Maybe a few of us, but not enough to keep viewer’s tuning in. Throw in an impossible deadline to build the car and you have a show.

Yeah, but eventually the guy was going to run out of customers.

I mean, who the heck would want one of his cars after watching how bad Coddington’s crew screwed things up, hid it, and then delivered the rush-job to an unsuspecting customer? I build cars as a hobby, and watching American Hot Rod was not only an example of how not to run a business but an example of how NOT to modify/build/restore a car.

Both my father and I have met him. Suffice it to say, I won’t comment on our opinions of him in this public forum.

Sounds like the guy who buys bananas because he can’t afford a skateboard.
