Charlie ny.
It's been said before, and I will say it again, because it bears repeating.
I fitted my 94 today that was rebuilt by Charlie Schwendler, and the flathead has never run so well. I was all set to change to a 97 as the one I borrowed from a mate ran so well, but Charlie (and others) convinced me to stick with the 94. You sir are a craftsman, and I will not hesitate to recommend your services to anyone. You turned it around very quickly, and you told me exactly what you had done to it. Good, old-fashioned service! |

Re: Charlie ny.
Charlie does an excellent job on anything he rebuilds, or any services he provides. He and his wife Alice are two of the best of my "Good Neighbors" at the annual AACA "Hershey" swap meet & car show in Hershey PA. There is usually a group gathered around Charlie's spot where his "Flathead Ford Spoken Here" banner is always on display.

Re: Charlie ny.
Hi Everyone, Bassman, I have to agree with you and JM. I've said it on here before but Charlie is responsible for the tranny and rear in my car. He also did an emergency carb rebuild for me prior to the Brainerd meet earlier this year. He turned that job around in record time.
Here's the sign JM was talking about that Charlie and Alice have at their spot in the Red Field.

Re: Charlie ny.
I could not agree more..Charlie rebuilt my carburetor and fuel pump for my 39..they both perform and look excellent. Charlie is the best.

Re: Charlie ny.
I bought a set of Charlies extended throttle shafts and linkage arms for my 94's a few years ago. Parts fit perfectly, linkage smooth as silk. Met Charlie at Canfield swap meet to pickup parts, great guy.

Re: Charlie ny.
I remember your post about that 97 , and Charlie´s respond to that.
I´m glad that he did turn your head to the right direction. 94 is great carb when you know how to deal with it. |

Re: Charlie ny.
I probably am starting to sound like a broken record. If you want quality work done honestly and promptly Charlie is THE choice. He has done a number of restoration units for my 36 restoration. There are three parts he has just returned to me. I could not possibly be happier!!
Merry Christmas and HEALTHY New Year to all. Bruce/CT

Re: Charlie ny.
He also does distributor conversions. He just did a SBC (with both mechanical and vacuum advance) for my '51 Merc. A thing of beauty, and he turned it around in less than 3 weeks!
