I remember an article relatively late in his life where he said the only big cost in most of his cars were wheels and tires. And he'd usually trade services for those. Near or possibly at the end of his life, he was working for Knott's Berry Farm here in SoCal, painting and maintaining their cars and coaches used on the Old West streets.

I seem to remember that Boyd Coddington also worked for a theme park here in SoCal. Before he built up his original big shop that lead to the wheels manufacutring, etc. he worked for Disneyland. Can anyone concfirm these old memories of mine from articles, books?

Last, anyone know where TV Tommy Ivo's four engine dragster is? Does it still exist? Gawd, there are so many neat old cars I'd like to see. The Green Monster, The Green Hornet car, The Little Red Wagon, The (one of several) Stone, Woods and Cook Fuelie, some of the altered wheel base Dodges of the sixties, and on and on.
