That sucks, hit me just like just like Dale Earnhardt's death. I never liked the guy but I never wished he would die.

If you really watched that show, he was always stressed out. You could see it in his face many times. the guys that were working for him seemed to be major tools, especially like that Blue Bear f**k.

I just wish someone would explain to me the cause of death.
I hate that it happened. He had a good eye and great talent. A true loss to the automobile world.

From what I have gathered from my room mate who is very connected with the hot rod scene, Boyd had a severe case of scerosis (sp) of the liver and that is what killed him. I think his official website says something different.

I had heard he was a diabetic for a long time....we may never know.
Knowing the cause of death helps me with closure.

Someone had posted it was liver disease on Wikipedia, too.
