Charley Hutton: Bodyshop supervisor, leaves Boyd's company after deciding to do work for competitor Chip Foose (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chip_Foose) during the 42 Woodie build. Despite offering to return after the work was completed, Boyd said it was a gross breach of trust and told him never to come back. Hutton later appeared on the show Rides (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rides_%28American_TV_series%29), it said he worked for Chip Foose and won a Ridler Award (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ridler_Award). Later Hutton appeared on Overhaulin' (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overhaulin%27). He subsequently opened his own custom paint shop in Idaho (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idaho).

I heard that Mike was from Fort Collins, and I actually saw him walking around downtown once.

Charlie Hutton seemed to be a very cool person. A couple of years ago he use to answer paint questions on the overhaulin site. I thought that was very cool of him.

I guess he was the only drama queen on the old Boyd TV show that sold a positive image of himself that people remember.

Everyone liked Roy too but he was no drama queen. He played himself on the show.

One of the fabricators had a good image too but no one remembers his name.

Rick, I too liked Roy i used to get a kick out him and how he did things, he was very good, one episode i remember was his ability to use lead for the filler, he was very good at it.
