    We used the Graphics Express stencil, it was 4 pieces, just took time to line it up, turned out nice.

    I'm told that the quality is better from Graphic Express.

    They use 3M materials in their stencils. I plan on buying mine from them. They are even going to take my Sprint hood and use it for a guide to make me a new stencil for my Maverick Sprint. The hood stencil I bought from them for my Mustang Sprint is high quality and the shields for the back quarter panels are, too. They also make the shields for the quarter panels of the Maverick Sprints, too.

    I went over to their location in Inverness to pick up my Mustang decals. The owner told me that they acquire and use an NOS decal to use for reproduction, so it should be accurate.

    Yeah, I have to agree their stuff is nice, we also used their 73 Grabber fender stencils, which I wasn't to sure about, but they worked out great.I'm just waiting to put the side stripes on.

    Sweet! Are they going to start selling the Sprint stencil after they make one for you, or is it a just for you deal? I know I will be interested in one in a few months, hopefully.

    Corbin,

    If they can get a clean scan from my hood( my twin decals are faded and the old decal is not in the best of shape), then they would have it for anyone who would want one. The cost would be around the same as they charge for the Mustang ones, I believe. They charge $129.95 for the Mustang ones.

    I made this deal with them a few months ago, but just haven't gotten over there yet. I have been distracted working on other cars.

    Is Sprint Stencil same as 1970 Grabber hood stencil?

    He is right... I am pretty sure the 1970 Grabber stripes start in front of the "bulge", whereas the Sprint stripes start where the hood bulges up...
