So here I am chilling in Iraq looking at HotRod because next to my kids I miss the cars the most and on page 89 of the February issue of HotRod is TonyS451's 4 door street sweeper! Seems the Aussie that bought it is not the shoe that Tony is, he only ran high 11's! Nice

Get your back fixed and build another car!

That is pretty cool. Tony sure does put some nice cars together but he changes cars so often you never know what he's got

There were alot of shot of his car from Drag week. Looks like the guy was helping out Eddie along the way

wish it was my car. here are some pics

That was always one of my Favorite Moparts Hot Rods and Tony is one of my very best Moparts buds. That car is awesome from top to bottom with its 511 low deck, Stage VI heads a relatively mild solid and Magnum manifolds....oh and the ultimate sleeper the ultra clean 4 door Early B body. Mid 11 second cruiser that looked for all the world like an OEM stocker.....too cool

did ya ever see his wagon?

sounded good too!!

Oh yeah the wagon was wayyy cool too, but the 4 door I think was my favorite....mainly because of the 511 low deck in sleeper form...we had lots of talks about that motor and the awesome "just right" combination it turned out to be.

Yep, the wagon was running 10.90's with a 470 low deck

Yep the Demon when 10.03 on a 10" tire with the 451 and Max wedge ported SR's. We have the SR's on the dart now and the Demon when to Texas. I should have picked up the Demon, or the wagon, or the 4 door, or
Well at least I got to work on all of them

congrats tony, and to you sr440

Big Tony in Iraq! Get your butt back home already. I hope its soon...Thanks for spotting the old 4 door and thanks everyone for the nice words. Steve is correct, my best pass with the hydraulic flat tappet cam that is currently in the engine (244@.050/.540 108lsa Straightline Performance)was 11.65 at 114. So Steve did pretty well considering he drove the heck out of it too. It did go 11.55 at 116 with a 238 @ .050 /.540 112lsa solid flat tappet.

My guess is the other cars in his class had headers. That being said, I wonder how well Steve and the 4 door would have fared with a decent set of headers?

I havn't been around here much, except for the occasional lurk, but I'm starting to get the itch again to get this car going. I'm 3 months into recovery from back surgery, and hope to start turning some (light) wrenches again after the holidays. I sold my 62 Savoy and have this goofy idea to build a 62 Chrysler Newport. I have a stroker in the works, but we'll see what happens with this one. Thanks again for noticing and congrats Steve on a great job at Drag week.

Nice pics sixpackgut
