72 SSP no more

[Paul_G]

I found the car sitting in a field. 1972 Sebring Plus. The owners brother had the job of selling it after he passed. It is still not done, but it drives down the street now. At this point I Have owned it for two years.

What are you using to control the trans? Did you retain lock up?

That is a sight to behold, the transformation is incredible! Hats off to you for your abilities.

That surely must wake up the neighborhood.

Etrans control. He makes a stand alone controller for the RE's. OD and lock up are adjustable. It uses a TPS that has to be mounted on the carb or throttle body.

Holy freakin' cow. I'll say awesome until I can think of a better adjective. What a GREAT color !

Thank you. I am torn between using an RH or an RE. Is the RH a smaller package?

 

[Paul_G]

The transmissions are the same physical size. They have different plugs to control them. I have hd 2 RH's. Still own one of them. They use pressure or toggle switches to control OD and LU, there is no way to extend the engagement point in the RH when in heavy throttle, OD/LU comes slamming in anyway. The RE controller uses the TPS to control this.

How much is the controller? My car is efi so already have a tps output.

Thank you. Looks like 899. Pricey, but after talking to the guy, I think it's the best way to go.

I dont have much drive time other then set up around the neighborhood. no full throttle runs yet. But I like the adjustability of it. It is worth the money.

That is one gorgeous ride! WOW....I don't know how long it took you do it or how much you did yourself, but it's gonna draw looks everywhere you go! Congrats on that beautiful transformation!

WoOoW Paul, outstanding work!!

I’m in the final stages of my 71RR restoration. I also went with the full QA1 setup. I need to start getting wheels a tires soon. Did you setup the frontend with the 2” drop? What tire size did you use and back spacing/offset front and back. Thanks.

I like the wheels, they look light. What are they?
