Uncle Max comes through once again
 

I decided to send the 97's on my '36 roadster to Uncle Max for a rebuild. It has been over 20 years since Tardel built the engine and the throttle shafts were showing some wear. The car also developed a small hesitation on acceleration. I packed them up and sent them off to Max around Christmas. A week or so later they arrived back at my door and I could not be more pleased.The carbs look and perform better than new and the '36 runs like a swiss watch once again. I just wanted to express my gratitude for the service that Max performs.He did what he said he was going to do, did it quicker than he said he would do it, and did it at a reasonable price.In my book that is exceptional service. Thank you Max!!! - Dennis

Hi Mike, Thanks ,I am glad I was able to get them on before the surgery. They cut the hell out of me this time.

Re: Uncle Max comes through once again
 

Hey Dennis,
Don't ya just hate all that cutting ? I have much empathy for your situation. Been there done that more than like to remember. I now know what the 'six million dollar man' must be like. Here's hoping that you heal well/soon..
What a great looking ride, wow, triple win...Max carbs; Tardel engine and a '36 vert:) !!

Max is the best.

Great looking ride!

Re: Uncle Max comes through once again
 

That's Max for you. Great parts, great service all around. Max goes the extra step to chromate his carbs for the original, correct finish. NO amateur clearcoating hijinks played in his shop!

Hey Dennis, can you post a pic of the other side of those Max 97's? I would like to know what you recommend for the coupling linkage. Before Max enlightened me, I bought some linkage out of Florida and I now am worrying about their longevity and fluidity of motion. I need a good set up for the 2 81's I got from Max for my '36 roadster.

Uncle Max - the man, the myth and the legend for 97s ...

Re: Uncle Max comes through once again
 

I will try and make it out to the shop later today and shoot a few photos and post them. Thanks- Dennis

Hey Max, is that my center section inlet repair you did on the Stromberg newsletter piece on Facebook?

Re: Uncle Max comes through once again
 

Uncle Max is the best of the best when it comes to doing these Stromberg 97's. He is also a great person to do business with, period. I sent him an email or pm a few years ago listing a bunch of Stromberg parts that I needed. A few days later he called me saying go look on your front porch for your parts that have just been delivered. Sure enough that box of parts was sitting on my porch! Amazing service!! I have also heard tell, that without Uncle Max, the new English built 97's may never have actually happened.

PS...and on top of all those kudos....he drives a very cool '37 tudor slantback sedan!!! :D

Re: Uncle Max comes through once again
 

It is noticed that when someone asks a carburetor question here or on the Hamb, Uncle Max never belittles the person or questions their ability. He simply offers help.:cool:

Yep, Max is a class act for sure.

Man, love your car. Simply righteous!

Re: Uncle Max comes through once again
 

Here you go !

Re: Uncle Max comes through once again
 

Clean and simple. Thanks for the pic.

Re: Uncle Max comes through once again
 

Everything ya say about Uncle Max...worth a million bucks. What ya didn't say...priceless! DD

Re: Uncle Max comes through once again
 

I love the stance of that '36. That is just a great looking car! Thanks for posting those pics.

Several years ago I sent a 97 to Uncle Max for repair. He sent it back all repaired and included a bill for the repair. How many places or people do you know that would repair some thing, send it back and then bill you. Uncle Max didn't know me from Adam other than I was a Ford Barn member.
