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

Gimme a break! Tony ran a best of 11.65(I think) I ran a best of 11.71
The car slowed to 11.8s during the week due to a hesitation as I hit top gear. Not sure why but after consulting Tony we think it may be some crap in the fuel system. I have kept the car to use next year so will investigate next september.
Great car by the way.... Cool sleeper and a credit to Tonys building skills.
Looking forward to running it next year. May need a recommendation as to a good dyno tuner in the milwaukee area just to help nail down that hesitation. We are really short on time once we get there.
Thanks for the photos Ray, I didn't have any under hood shots. Our other cars have landed and we can pick them up Jan 5! Yes we are very patient!

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!!

Re: TonyS451 car in hotrod! - 12/24/08 04:20 PM

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

He had a gorgeous Demon before that. IIRC, it ran low 10's w/a 452.

Re: TonyS451 car in hotrod! - 12/24/08 05:27 PM

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

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.

Tony's stuff has always been REAL nice, I haven't seen it yet but am going to keep an eye out for that issue for sure.

Heal up soon Tony. Back surgery is certainly no fun.

Thanks again for the nice words. It really makes we want to start building something again (or wish I hadn't sold the wagon or the 4 door). Hope everyone had a nice Christmas.

Hey T, take care of that back man, nothing worse than a back injury...

I will be over here in the sand for another year at least I need to make enough money to get some form of HotRod together, I want a 63 Dodge but have enough parts to build another C-Body so that might get the nod instead.

Hey Aussie, I was just pushing your buttons about the driving...it's cool that you drove it the way it was built to be driven

Tony, when I get home, lunch is on me!

Sounds good Tony. I look forward to it. I know nobody in their right mind would mess with you, but stay safe out there.
