I'm starting restoration on an A-series Ambassador.

I'm intending to make it a perfect recreation of stock, with Antique
Motorcycle Club of America (AMCA) rules and judging in mind. That means
no powdercoat and other modern stuff, and stock finishes on
everything.I'll pit it against $70,000 Indian Fours and Crockers and
such at AMCA meets.

It'll be killer fun because I'll be the only one their qualified to
judge it! Thus, I'll get 100 points everytime and the bike will be the
quickest Grand Champion in history. Then, I'll be excommunicated
(again) from the AMCA and just ride the thing for fun.

Anybody have a set of the stock big-opening mufflers that are
restorable?

Thanks!

GF

I'm working on my Ambo.

Engine and tranny are back in the frame. Still painting other parts and
waiting for some warm weather so I can do some assembly.

Wheels are all apart so I can polish rims and hubs and replace spokes
and
true wheels. The project has been on hold due to finishing/selling
other
projects and buying another bike.

Also some family issues (daughter getting separated) and moving her
belongings across a few states and back home into storage have taken-up
quite a ferw spare weekends. Weather and snow haven't helped either.

Hoping to get back on the Ambo soon!

I noticed a few of us doing a Ambo/Eldo project.

Just curious who is doing what?

And what have been your road blocks?

I am doing a 72-74 disc conversion, paint job, cleaning, new exhaust,
bearings here and there, rewiring, alt. conversion, wheels, minor
engine
work and adding blinkers.

My biggest headache has been converting the Japanese left control to
allow
for the lights on/off, turn signals & horn. I also want to add
relays for
the hi/low headlght.
there is not much room in the headlight nacelle.

They look like Ramflows to me.

Thinking of participating here a little more. I'm currently doing up
a '74
Eldo, have been enjoying lurking and reading your tips etc. This
seems like
one of the nicer internet discussion areas these days.
