I will keep this page updated as i get stuff done.
Hey everyone this is my car right now. It is a 1969 Pontiac Custom S Sprint (It's not a GTO, Tempest, or LeMans). It has a 250 C.I. (4.1L) 4 on the floor inline 6 overhead cam engine that puts out over 250HP now that i got it runnin. My car is very rare. I have NEVER seen any other sprints at any car shows or other events. As far as I know there were 5,000 sprints made but I don't know how many were made in 1969. I just haven't seen any other sprints. I have only seen one other Custom S and that is a brown one I saw for sale at the Carlisle Car Show. I have never seen or heared of anybody with another Custom S Sprint. If you know someone or know someone who knows someone with one leave a message in my guestbook. Thanks for looking!

These pics are my new Edelbrock IAS shocks, 1-1/4" anti-sway bar w/new bolts and brackets, and my High Performance Polished Aluminum Flex Fan. The other pic is after I installed everything. I couldn't get a good pic of the shocks, but you can still see where they poke out of the lower control arm. I will add a pic of the fan installed later.

This is a picture of my car now. Notice the Team R-Blox sticker on my windshield. Go to
www.R-Blox.com. I just filled my trunk lid with 6 cans of spray foam, it stopped it from ratteling from the bass. I used the foam called "Great Stuff" and it works perfectly for what I did with it.

today I worked on drilling holes for the connection terminals so i could mount the subs inside the box. The way im going to keep the system is with the 2 10's and the 15 for now until i can buy the materials to make fiberglass boxes.
i couldnt figure out what setup to use so i started playing around with it...

Onward to bigger and better things this is my 15" MTX Thunder 8000 sub and the box i made for it today. I made it a sealed box and to seal it even more i used caulk on the edges(the white stuff inside the box). I also made a better box for the two 10" MTX thunder 8500's ill take some pics of that soon. Also there is the MTX 6x9's in the rear speaker deck that i just put in and theres one pic of the 4 inch speakers in the doors.
I'm thinking outside of the box :D

Ive been workin non stop on my car but i havent been updating the pics lately so here are some updated ones i finally got the front fenders painted and i repainted the passanger side front fender because the old primer that was on there before needed to be fixed and some bodywork done under it. i got the whole passanger side and the roof in paint and everything grey in the pic is ready for paint. everything yellow needs to be redone because the yellow primer didnt spray right 10 years ago so im going to fix it.

I
FINALLY got the hood on it and all I have to do before I get it inspected is put the airdam back on it and put in the rest of my seatbelts. It needs new tires really badly and I think there might be an exhaust leak.
I thought i would show everyone a drivers view from my car but I dont think I'm going to let anyone else drive it exept me but they can look at this picture and dream about it.

When I was driving a few days ago i felt like my car lost all of its acceloration. I figured something was wrong so I pulled over and checked my engine out and it was VERY hot but it never completely overheated and the "TEMP" light wasn't on...I checked out the coolant and there was about 1/3 of what I needed in there...so I tried to find where the leak was and I didnt have to go far to see that there was a big crack in my upper radiator hose. So I bought new radiator hoses (upper and lower) and I decided to buy new heater hoses too. But this still didnt tell my why my "TEMP" light never came on...so I was playing around with the heat sensor and when i bypassed it the light came on and i figured out that the heat sensor was bad so i bought a new one of those too.
