Established in 1973, Coker's Millwrights provides steel fabrication, retails steel and sells used equipment. Other services include crane, welding, fork truck, millwright, industrial waste hauling and trucking services. A big part of Coker's business, now, is rigging and moving the heaviest items for industrial customers. Bumping along in the golf cart, Coker gives a brief description and weight-hauling capacities of numerous lifts and cranes lining the parking lot around the millwright shop. Coker has machines that will lift items weighing anything from 75 pounds to 75 tons. He laughed that the company's motto is "Our business is picking up." Coker said he and his brother restored an antique car in what was to become a harbinger of the business to come." My brother and I restored a Ford Model A Roadster," he said. "In 1954, that was almost unheard of." He said he enjoyed bringing back to life something that had been cast aside." I've been restoring cars ever since," Coker said. He said he doesn't believe anything mechanical is beyond hope. Coker's collection at home is more a museum than a simple collection. Coker lives off of Highway 39 with his wife, Kay, and his father. Another mechanical-contraption-ride (a second golf cart) to a barn behind his house reveals a collection of farm tractors in various states of restoration. Tractors bearing the brand names John Deere, Ford, and even a Canadian-made Cockshutt, are parked around the inside of the barn where antique wheels and parts hang overhead. As the golf cart glides to a stop at the barn, Coker's dad, H.C." Pop"Coker, 97 years old and still going strong, is on his hands and knees groping around under a Ford Model A for a dropped 5/8-inch wrench. The elder Coker stops long enough to say hello and returns to his tinkerings." My father always told me, 'If you do it right the first time, you won't have to do it over,'" Coker said as though repeating a mantra heard many times. "And that's the way we run our business." From that first Whizzer, to the dozen Whizzers in different states of repair or restoration, Coker has enough in one room to seemingly keep a man busy for years. Among his collection are a 1957 Chevrolet BelAire, a 1931 Ford Model A, a 1953 Cadillac Convertible, a 1965 Mustang motorcycle and a 1962 Cushman motorcycle.
