Default Father of the modern hot rod dead at 63
Not sure if this really belongs in here but since he did (designed) cars with a lot of custom paint and bodywork I thought it might be appropriate. Love him or hate him,he did a lot of great things for this hobby. One of the original legends Boyd Coddington dead at age 63.

Rest his soul, but I never cared for his attitude. Not all his work was pro standard though, these deadlines are ridiculous.
I like Foose better, he has more heart.
