Why are they closing?

I just posted this on the later-g website.

Its not a health issue. So thank God for that.

He has just run into unforeseen circumstances that are requiring him to stop production a bit.
He did say that the jigs might be for sale on the website, but he was testing the waters incase it does require him to shut down, but because of all the calls and e-mails in interest for them they aren't for sale right now

Divorce?

**Larry Callahan** · 07-31-2006

No way! I still want one of his frames. I hope all will be well. I will call him in the morning.

**novanutcase** · 07-31-2006

Please disregard the above post that I did. I just got done reading an e-mail that Wayne sent me and apparently the problem is the G*d D@#n City hassling him over zoning laws so they shut him down. canyou believe that?!!? The guy is out there making an honest buck by doing high quality work and the city can't figure out how to make it work and still keep him in business. Frickin' City!

**rob07002** · 07-31-2006

He must move!!!!!

**PRO TC** · 07-31-2006

i sure hope he reopens i want subframe for my 69.

When this type of thing happens it is usually a neighbor that complains to the city over and over and the city has to follow it up. Maybe he could try and get a variance from the zoning board, (depending on exactly what the zoning violation is) worst case is he ends up in the same situation he is now. Worth a try IMO.

We have been trying to convince him to come to Vegas for years now...

Zoning issue usually means doing wrong type business for the current zoning designation of a particular property.
I am certainly guessing here, but maybe Wayne is in a commercial zone and since he is manufactoring needs to be in a M-1(industrial) zone.
It really depends on the city and their rules.
Hopefully this can be resolved or Wayne can relocate.
Come to Pigeon Forge Wayne, I promise I can get you in the right zone.

**Damn True** · 07-31-2006

As is often the case in the Bay Area this could be another case of imminant domain run amok. I mean, he's been in business in that spot for years (is he in the facility that was Rasmussens?) w/o a problem. I wouldn't doubt for a second that some #$%^#@$ developer has his eye on the property and has a golf buddy in the city.

**ProdigyCustoms** · 07-31-2006

Ya know, we talked about what the weather was like in Florida. He told me he was getting tired of all the gloomy days.

**harshman** · 07-31-2006

I highly recomend Prescott Valley, AZ. Weather is awsome and labor is reasonable..... and um.... I live there.

**MrQuick** · 07-31-2006

Remember your asking a guy that is use to 50-60 degree weather to go to high heat (Vegas) muggy weather (TN) Hurricanes and spring breakers (FL) high heat and sand (AZ).

Bay Area is where its at...but then property is high $$$ here. Im sure he will work it out with the city.

Why does that scene with Gilbert Godfrey in Beverly Hills cop come to mind. "Say I had something is this hand that would make you forget what was in that hand" You would say what ticket ......ahh never mind.

**novanutcase** · 07-31-2006

Gilbert Godfrey was in Beverly Hills Cop? Wasn't that Eddie Murphy?

Mr. Quick I gotta say that Nor Cal is a beautiful place but how can you argue with the birthplace of hotrodding? SUNNY SOCAL BABY!!!!!!

I figure Wayne sets up somewhere near Pomona(Hmmmm. maybe even near the :3gears:raceway?) and builds his business until he gets enough clientele to move to Huntington Beach and kick it with Foose, Lanzini and the rest of those guys!

Yeah he needs to come to East Tennessee we don't care what kind of business you've got we just need businesses.

**rob07002** · 08-01-2006

Yup, sure sounds like local politics bs to me. Zoning, Pft what a freakin joke. When my buddies and I had a sort of speed/hobby shop some of the neighbors would always complain about the noise or smells and what not. Meanwhile it was in a dual purpose zone and they most likely paid less for thier homes since the garage was there, not to mention all the favors we did for them over the years....

**harshman** · 08-01-2006

Cali? Are you serious? I'd like to see his frames stay under the $10k mark thank you. Prescott Valley is in the high desert/mountains – no sand here. Just awesome weather throughout the year. To top it off, low land prices.
