Whodeanie's Customs needs to relocate from Woodstock to Canton, Ga. about 10-15 miles away. Many have already said they would help out, so if you have a truck, trailer, or anything that can haul or pull a trailer, he's starting the move today, May 1. He needs to be out of his present location by May 17.
If it fits Dean's schedule, I plan to go up on Thursday May 3 if anyone would like to go along to help out.
Donster and I should be updating as info comes in from Dean.
-
I have sent Dean a text telling him that I have a truck and a trailer ( I used this trailer to haul cars, though it is not "technically" a car hauler (no ramps). and am just waiting on a reply of what works best for him. and since I live in Canton, I am pretty much available anytime after work and whenever on weekends. If you hear anything before me, please let me know......BTW, where in Canton?
-
Told Dean to call/text us but haven't heard from him yet.
-
OK, Dean just called.
He can use the help NOW!
His phone is blowing up, so just go to his (old) shop and he'll let you know what you can do to help.
Old (current) address:
706 Executive Ct.
Woodstock, GA 30189
New address:
202 North Industrial Way
Canton, GA 30114
Any and all help is appreciated!
Thanks all

BUMP!
-
Roger and I are going up in the morning.
-
My truck is running...WOOHOO!!!! I can't make it until Friday morning...but I can stay thru Saturday for multiple loads. Will bring the truck and trailer.
-
BUMP
-
:-\I have to go to Augusta for a couple days. ... But, I should see yall there this weekend!
-
BUMP!
-
I can bring my truck Saturday if it's still needed.
-
I'm sure he'll appreciate any help he can get
\D
-
Wow...another bump...gonna need new shocks when we are done with all this. I know this isn't like me, but I decided to actually test drive the truck before leaving for Georgia in it. I assume I should just show up at the old shop? Should be there around 1ish.
-
Either Dean or Aaron will be there.
\D
-
so, am I understanding this right......when I come tomorrow morning (Saturday) I should go straight to the old shop? also, should I bring my trailer? (it is a big flat bed normally used to haul a tractor so I dont have the proper ramps for a Fiero). and last question, what time in the morning is good? the earlier the better for me.
edit to add: PAGE 2 OWNAGE!!.......that is all :P
-
Dean said he would move the cars that needed to be hauled on his trailer. If you have any means of holding things on your trailer while in transport, I'm sure the trailer would be useful for carrying body panels, cradles and other parts.
If anyone out my way goes over, I have some lids for totes that I placed in my back seat so they wouldn't blow away. Would like to send them back to Dean.
Roger and I got there around 10. Dean had told me he is usually there by 9.
-
yes, trailer has short sides and I have plenty of straps and ropes.
see yall around 9am then!!
-
running late as usual. see you in about an hour.
-
Awesome turnout
\D
-
I have thrown a couple of moving blankets inside the back of the FieroHERO vehicle and plan on coming up Saturday. It will be good for moving boxes, parts, etc.
About how much still needs to be moved?
FGTB
-
Only Dean can answer that
\D
-
Anyone going to help Dean on Saturday???
FGTB
-
I'm going. I have an F150 with a camper shell on the back, so I can carry stuff that needs to be protected from the elements.
-
I will still be here tomorrow... but will probably quit early. We have made a dent in it, but...i think it will buff out.
-

-
I will be there with my pick up also, unfortunately, I also have to finish around lunchtime.
-
any and all help is great for me. I am on the way in to the old shop now. I have my trailer and a friend with a tow truck so we can haul the cars over. the bigest isue is all the parts and where to put them in the new shop.
I have some friends that will be painting the office today as well at the new place.

CINCO DE MOVEO!
Photos from today's gathering of GFCers who showed up to help move WhoDeanie's to their new facility just up the road in Canton.

WHODEANIE NEEDS SLEEP!
DO NOT SHOW UP AT WHODEANIE'S on Sunday, May 6
He said he's been going full steam since before the Daytona gathering, so he's turning off his phone and crashing all day Sunday.

Love the new restroom!

I'll call him Monday and find out if he needs more help.
Love the turn-out.

guess this is why i got no notification..new thread.... lol.
please excuse my typos. this tablet hates me...and fights edits like a teenager!
well Patty and i managed to show up by accident and for the wrong reason, but at least it allowed us to lend a hand. course with the right clothes we could have done more!
but at least i was there to lift that big heavy desk and do the work of 3 men! hahahaha... wish we had a picture of that lol. i know i came late and had more energy! hehehe...
-
We need more women in the club like you -- not for moving furniture (thankfully we don't do that very much), but for your appreciation an knowledge of cars in general, and Fieros in particular.
-
I've had some one-on-one discussions w RR, and she does know her stuff! She has an eye-for-detail that you just don't see that often, and I beleive she and Tinkerbell both make great additions to our club for this, and many other reasons: they're friendly, fun and energetic.
Another tip of the hat should also go to new member Spartanz, who also has jumped in and brought some renewed enthusiasm to our group.
All three of these fine young people are, IMHO, inspiring us all to get even more excited about what our club can do!

Lol... you guys are great! Thank you! I know enough to get myself in trouble.. lol! Wish more of you could have seen the firebird when it was up and running. Raydar is probably the only one who has seen it. And that was so long ago! I know Don googled it. Lord know what he found... lol. Least you have gotten to see the Mustang. Lots more we want to do with it if we ever have a chunk of $.
Im just glad to find a group who accepts us! My old f-body club seemed to push us away when the bird went down. So much for a community! You guys rock!

Their loss, our gain ;)
-
BTW: Who has the latest news on Dean and his move?
-
I talked to him while moving Saturday and he said he probably will still be moving stuff this weekend but if nothing else, he said he could use help sorting stuff and stocking shelves. That was Saturday though, and you know how doo doo occurs :D I plan on being there this weekend again unless I hear otherwise.
-
Before we left Saturday I told him to let me know if he wanted help with the parts sorting and organizing on the shelving. I told him to call me or pm me if he wanted my help. I was trying to keep from having to bother him. I figure if he is at the picnic when we get there I will see his things are looking. I can't help except on the weekends anyway. I figure Sat is a wash, but if he wants, there is Sunday
-
Well, I hope Dean gets to a point where he can break away from all the moving and come on over for the picnic this weekend; he probably needs a well deserved break anyways.
\D
-
I just posted this on our forum to help out. Need help asap for a customer of ours. He had an alternator go out in his car. He is stuck in Nashville and needs tools and some help.
-
We found someone and he's on the way to help replace the alternator.
-
Well you need to let everybody know on facebook, they are all looking for somebody.
-
I didn't and don't post on facebook. Never even visit facebook. Someone else who has a facebook account and knows that he's repaired and on the road will need to post.

this is kathy, dean's wife. i stole his log in to write you all a note. (sure this will get fixed) lol
we need your help - he is in the middle of moving his entire shop - it's only half done, which isn't good - he only has this weekend to finish. there is soooo much left to do - and he can't do it alone - some of you may know that he had back surgery two years ago - i am very afraid that he is pushing it wayyyy too hard.
so many of you have already pitched in - and thank you, its been great. but .. there is so much left to do. i have had a few of my shop guys help, but still isn't enuf...
i know you all are a close knit group - i know he has given much advice, and turned a wrench more than a few times - both for love of the car, and respect for you owners.
i humbly ask, as someone that loves him very much - please help us finish his move. he will be working at least 10am to 10pm from now till monday - please meet us there and help. i will be there saturday and sunday to keep the phone out of his hand... (i think - lol)
please dont call him - as he is going to kill me when he sees this - address is executive park drive, woodstock - next door to castleberry shutters.
please pass the word - bring a friend, a wife, teenage kids, even the neighbors if we have to ...
hope to see you there ...
thank you so much - kathy, the soon to be dead wife - lol

This makes me want to cancel the picnic and go up to Woodstock and help.
This timing is really terrible.

me too @cancel the picnic
-
We could bring food to Whodeanie's, or we could all have lunch at an area restaurant. And in any case, we need to conduct club business, since it's our meeting day.

\D
My statement was sincere, but it is also way too late in the gameplan to cancel.
And people have already dropped money and time into this picnic, to include Anne and myself, so I plan on going to Dean's on Sunday to help out.
Like I said, the timing really sux.
HOWEVER: If members want to cancel - or postpone, let us know ASAP!
\D
-
How about if we light the grill at noon instead of 1 pm, to give more time for some of to get over to Dean's after lunch.
-
If you are not a Board Member you could go help on Sunday.

??? ??? The Board meeting isn't until the 20th.

Sorry I get confused with out my date book in front of me.
-
I spoke with Dean today, and he's actually going to take a break from the moving and come on over for the picnic around 1 PM.
Despite all the work that still needs to be done, he probably needs a break even more.
\D
-
Ok I only have my phone and im not sure how well I will be able to internet surf on it at the game. I need to know what is happening and where to go. Someone please call or better yet text me to keep me up to date on what's happening. We have no trouble going to deans to help but since we will be doing this On the fly I need to know where everyone is. I have a change of clothes, so we can go straight to Deans if need be...
the # is seven seven zero- five nine six- two seven four three... please let me know what and where or at least who to call or text when we are leaving the game.
-
Who is going to Deans Tomorrow and what time are you getting there.

We need a good night's sleep first. Just got done cleaning up and breaking down the tent.
Might not be until after lunch.
\D
-
I will be at Deans at least two days with Tuesday being a definite. He must be out by Wednesday night. It's only an 11 mile trip between shops so we can make several loads a day. If you don't have a truck, you can ride with me to help load and unload things. Let me know if you want to join me on any particular day. It's a club cab truck so I can transport 3 people.
-
Pat left at about 10am. to help Dean.
-
I have to cancel. Don is about to pass his kidney stone and is in serious pain :(

Ouch, I've passed three over the last several years. Best description I ever heard was that it's like passing Napalm, and that's pretty accurate!!!
Feel better!!

-
Linda wants to know if he needs any really good pain medication. ;)
-
He has Oxicodone but if she has something better let him know. Thanks for offering!
-
Five beers will speed up the process. Six beers and he won't feel a thing.
-
still not passed
-
Did you try the beer and pain medicine ?
Pat and I are praying for you.
-
I just got off the phone with Dean.
Due to the passing of his father, he will need to stay out West for a few more days, hence this:
Aaron is overwhelmed with the new shop setup and could greatly use some help sorting thru parts and such; can we have some volunteers to help them get settled in?
Any help would be greatly appreciated in such dire times for Dean, as it seems that things just keep piling up for him.
-
I got one volunteer off of Pennock's so far.
Anyone else?
\D
-
I'll come up when I can. Con't commit to anything firm, just yet.
-
Please also see these two threads on Pennock's and help out if you can.

Have 3 commitments so far.
Anyone else have time this weekend?

-
I should be able to make saturday................
-
Any word on how Whodeanie and his shop is doing?
Did GA Fiero's send flowers?
-
Because of the move, the shop being out of commission and the unexpected expense of needing to travel to be with his Father and Family, we decided to make a donation to his PayPal account, instead.
-
Anyone have a report on the shop to see how things settled out after this weekend?
I have fallen out of the loop yet again! Not enough hours in the day! We have had much home bound chaos we have been attending too. Lets just say we had 7 animals to the vet Friday! Most routine stuff this time, but still insane! Then Saturday-Monday my honey do list exploded and did not get done! Lets say I have been outside till dark everyday this week and figure I will loose the coming weekend to the ever growing list! But hey maybe the yard will be presentable by the end of the coming weekend and free time can be had soon! :D
-
I talked with Aaron, last Saturday.
He said that one lift was bolted down and wired up, and that the giant parts pile had been significantly trimmed. (You should have seen it!)
I haven't talked with Dean yet. I know he's busy. I don't want to bother him.
A couple of weeks ago, he was talking about escaping and going to the Dells run this weekend, just to chill, but I don't know if he's doing that, after all that has happened.
I hope he does. I'm sure he needs to decompress a bit.
