BLACKJACK

I know John of John's Custom Fabricating. He is indeed in Coos Bay Oregon.

I bought my first Side Oiler from him. Traded a crate 502 Bowtie and some cash. About 13 months later he gave me my money back and the 502. The Sideoiler was a Center Oiler. He didn't know!

I have been to his shop three times, a colorful transplanted Texan. He fabricates winches for fishing fleet and welds anything. Interesting little shop. Great guy.

He had two of his bodies sitting on the ground, and to demonstrate the strength of the build, him and his worker both stood on top of the hood and literarly jumped up on the empty shell!

The day I was there one of his customers from the Bay Area was there with his car on a trailer. Appearantly the fellow got into an accident with the Cobra right as he was going to Sears Point. The other vehicle a Toyota Forerunner or maybe a Toyota Pickp Up (I am not sure) was not drivable and the Cobra made it home under it's own power!!

If you fly up here, we'll both drive to Coos Bay. I wouldn't mind seing him again.
There is also a nice small diner where they have great clam steaks..
