Hi Bruce.
I'm not sure if Jim had a shop in SF.
When I first met Jim face to face (1979), he was going by the name of Jim Duffy. Unfortunetly, Jim Duffy Enterprises had a BAD fire at his Gardena location. His insurance company believed it was arson and were giving Jim an EXTREAMELY hard time over the whole ordeal. He basically lost everything.
So much so - that Jim decided to fold that business and sell pretty much everything that was salvageable to Mickey Thompson Products. I helped Jim move truckload after truckload of burnt off-road products to Mickey's shop in Placentia, near 17th St, which was where I was working at the time. I was incharge of trying to salvage as much as I could.
Jim and I worked side by side for M/T Products in the early '80's.
