I gave up on it when Boyd was chewing out an employee, and his hat changed color during the diatribe. The producers stitched two conversations together to suit the narrartive.

If the show focused on the craftsmanship and building of the cars instead of manufacturing stress and drama with ridiculous deadlines the shop and Boyd probably would still be around.

Cause Boyd died

[@markfarrington9727]

Because he died how are you going to stay in business if you're dead

Because people wanted to watch cars being built not a bunch of backstabbing drama queens ,with all due respect to mr coddington he sucked at HR and I don't mean Hot Rods ,his so called "lead hand" violated workplace bullying and harassment regulations almost 10 times a day not to mention that he's lucky he didnt get his ass handed to him by a disgruntled employee 😢

He was piece of shit never once have I seen him on the shop floor with hands on assists. With the guys I see why chip ended up getting his best guys to his shop.
