As much as I disliked his "scene", you have to pay the man respect. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family. What a bummer.

I wonder whats gonna come of his show now? His business?

No idea. I guess we'll just have to wait and find out.

My goodness, I'm shocked. I only watched his show a few times but I really liked them. He was a true legend in the hot-rod scene and from what I've heard he sounded like a genuinely nice guy too. R.I.P.

RIP, truely an amazing man with a great artistic gift. He will be missed, I bet his hot rods will probably double in value now.

His company has released a statement stating that Coddington was "a long-time diabetic" who "died from complications that were brought on from a recent surgery."
