"There was barely enough coming in to pay bills and employees but no profit," Jo said. "Emotionally, physically, I had become an absolute mess. It was horrible. It was like a nightmare I kept hoping someone would wake me up from."
Today, most of Boyd Coddington's business ventures have either been disbanded or turned over to others.
"Its heart wrenching," she said of having to give up the hot rod building enterprise. "It's like getting a divorce."
Jo's only connection to the industry is selling custom wheels via the Internet. She also still owns and lives in the La Habra home where she lived with Boyd.
Because there is no will, Jo expects much legal wrangling before Boyd's assets and debts are sorted out.
