Boyd Coddington, legendary for crafting some of America's best known and most cutting edge street rods, will build the prototype Boydster III on camera as the subject of a one-hour Discovery Channel special called American Hot Rod.
The entire process like planning, frame fabrication, pre-assembly, body and paint, electrical and finish assembly, will be shown in detail throughout the show. Production will take place at Boyd Coddington's Garage in La Habra, California, beginning in May, and will be finished at the end of June. This means you can get your first look at the 6th annual Goodguys Nationals, held July 12th at the Ohio Expo in Columbus, Ohio. The car will then be given away at the 2004 Goodguys Nationals. Street Rodder Magazine was special access to snap a few shots of the earliest stages of the car's build-up, but by the time you read this, the car will be on it's way to street rod fame for sure. If you cant make it to the Goodguys event, check out the entire story behind the new Boydster III coming to The Discovery Channel in late August or early September.
