He had more coaches then you could count in his place, people living in like 6 coaches on a temporary basis (both staff and folks waiting for service), parts & shell coaches, plus the coaches inside the main building being actively worked on, it really was a overwhelming endeavor. Jim was always a good scrounger and packrat, the amount of inventory they moved out shows.
I know that Code Enforcement had been giving him a rough time over some things and with more and more people wanting coach services, engine replacements, custom builds and him getting on in years I think he just got to the point where he wanted to hang things up & take it easy. Another person did buy the business and is running it, although not in the same location. It was my understanding that the new business will be GMC only, not Revcons, Airstream, or any of the variety of coaches he was working on in there. Definitely a loss for Revcon owners as he did work on a number of the coaches, both slant and flat-noses over the years (including a engine rebuild and interior refresh on mine!).
