I thought so to at first, but after thinking about it realized a few things.

1. The guy obviously had a fat checkbook
2. He had an idea for what seemed like it was the car of his dreams, the
look on his face the first time he heard that engine fire up said a lot.
3. He contracted with a famous hot rod maker to build his car.
4. Boyd and company should have made clear to him that what he wanted
wasn't really reasonable.
5. Boyd agreed to build the car in the time allotted, even though he
knew it was unreasonable.
6. His guys pulled it off again, (and he actually helped!), and we also
saw again why he has such a hard time holding on to good help.

The client had more money than sense and it was the responsibility of
the Coddington rep to let him know what was reasonable and what wasn't.
 That they failed to do so was THEIR fault, not the clients.

I saw that poor little C cab too, and was not happy to see a Stude in
Coddingtons clutches.  A thought crossed through my mind, we don't know
when that show was taped, I wonder what the chances are that is the same
truck as the blue one on the opening credits of "Trucks".

Well, I have to say that it seems like things are getting better
around that shop. I think the novelty of showing how much of an a.s
they can be on national TV is wearing off (except Dwayne of course, he
seems like he will never get tired of it) and some interesting work is
being done. I thought this Corvette was the most interesting and best
looking car that they have done yet. That interior was fracking
incredible, and it's hard to argue with the 700 HP that engine was
showing on the dyno.
