Welcome back! I hope it was just cataract surgery. I had it and it was a real minor deal. Now I don't need glasses and can see to drive at night again. I can, but I avoid it because of the deer. They all seem to have a suicide wish this time of year.

I also just had cataract surgery last month and no longer wear glasses. I do use a cheap pair of drug store cheaters to read. it's amazing what they can do.
glad Charley's doing good.

That's good news to hear Charlie's eye surgery went well and that he is back working in his shop. I think Charlie is able to get on this website and read posted messages, but can't message anyone or reply to anyones messages.
I wish Ryan would reconside allowing Charlie to come back as a member here. Anyone who has helped as many members here and other folks in our hobby as much as Charlie has, deserves to be forgiven and allowed a chance to come back as member in good standing in my humble opinion.

I totally agree with this sentiment.

Exactly Tubman, Charlie should definitely be forgiven. Isn’t that what the Good Lord teaches us?

Re: Charlie NY is back in the shop
 

You bet, Charlie should be forgiven and WELCOMED back.

Charlie is the best, he is a great guy, and has helped me out, personally, tremendously. He should be allowed back on here but knowing him I'd say he doesn't care one way or the other at this point. It was BS to ban him in the first place.

Re: Charlie NY is back in the shop
 

GREAT News!

The two 1935 distributors he rebuilt plus his tuning my Holley 94 Carb and getting the ignition wires right have given me an amazing ride.

Here in NC on sunny days I drive a loop out through Rockingham County... and the last 1/3 of my 25 mile ride runs me down NC Hwy 158 West... and I am not the slow vehicle... :). I find myself riding along behind traffic and I have to wonder if they ever imagined I'm running a nearly 90 year old (but rebuilt) Ford Flathead.

...and good folks like Charlie helped make this possible!

MERRY CHRISTMAS to all!

Us members don't count, but I'd thumbs up CharlieNY coming back to our online community.

Re: Charlie NY is back in the shop
 

I second this. While we're at it, "Pete" too. A LOT of knowledge there.

Hell, they let "Pete Hoovie" back in.

Re: Charlie NY is back in the shop
 

Very well said. John, and I too agree. Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't the arguement with Ken Isadore, the carburetor rebuilder. I don't think that Ken is still alive now so they can't fight any more. Anyway, Charlie is a good guy and Ken was too. It was an unfortunate situation. Sometimes people make mistakes and they can't be resolve it due to stubborness. Bruce

Mart 02-22-2025 01:28 PM

Re: Charlie NY is back in the shop
 

It wasn't anything to do with Ken. Charlie made some comments that broke the rules. There may have been some element of text self correction that made it worse that it was but only Charlie would know.

Im tired of hearing about all the admirable attributes of Charlie NY and how he should be reinstated. Convenient memory loss? Charlie posted the equivalent of a jaw dropping racial F bomb. It would be nice if someone called him out for that too.

Text self correction happens with your own finger tips.

Re: Charlie NY is back in the shop
 

Ryan has already weighed in on this issue. His site, his rules, done deal. Move on.

It would be nice if you said this each time a barner said he should be reinstated. In this thread alone nine reinstatement comments. One push back and its time to Move on. I agree, Say it more often, like Nine times more often.

I don't agree with you at all. Or Ryan.
