Even though some have gave him a hard time for certain builds. My condolences still go to those who knew him and his family. A loss is a loss and it is always hard.

Bob's a reliable source and I'm sure Jason's plugged into the industry pretty well too.
I never cared for the guy, but I am sad to hear about his death and my heart goes out to the Coddington family.
Like him or not, he was a polarizing figure and his loss will be felt.1968 Pro-Touring Camaro LS1

Do you still believe in all the things that you stood by before? Are you out there on the front lines, or at home keeping score?
Do you care to be the layer of the bricks that seal your fate? Would you rather be the architect of what we might create?

RIP Mr. Coddington.
I always hate to hear about death at untimely ages, especially in the hotrod arena. There's been quite a few legends gone this past year, some were the people that started it all, namely Wally Parks and Robert Peterson.68 Camaro, 406, T-56, Hydroboost, IROC box, SC&C Stage1+, Hotchkis front springs and bar, Speedway Engr. rear bar, Varishocks all 4's, Vintage WW V48's

He's been in the ICU for quite some time, very sad. Don't let the TV drama fool you on what he is like. A real stand up, nice guy. Seriously.
We all should be grateful for what he did for this industry.Matt Jones
