- 1973 Convertible, 351C H-code. AOD swap in progress
2000 Harley Softail Standard
Hey everyone,
I thought I'd start a build thread, since I need to do some restoration on Zelda. The car right now: '73 convertible, red, white top & interior, 351C, Comp Cams 260H, Edelbrock Performer carb (freshly rebuilt last week), Hooker headers, dual exhaust, FMX, 1" drop in front, new stock height springs in rear, 2.79:1 gears in the rear end.
The plan:
AOD swap: have the transmission. That's it so far.
3.50:1 gears: have all the parts, just need to pull the third member (with the stock gears, I'd have to go 95 mph to use the overdrive)
Electronic ignition: leaning towards the Pertronix Ignitor III, any opinions?
Fixing the top motor: anyone rebuilt one before?
The driver's seat: Frame is cracked. Again. The stock seats suck. Anyone done the TMI Pro Series seats?
3-point seat belts for the rear
Painting the underbody, dash panels, and some other paint touch-up here and there
