    1970 Grabber, originally white. Now '71 grabber clone, grabber orange with black, and a grabber hood from MaverickMan.
    I purchased a 71 Grabber hood stencil kit from Phoenix Graphix.
    Does anyone know a fool-proof way to install the stencil so it's not crooked? I need help because I don't want to screw this up. The guy who is painting the car has never done a grabber hood stencil installation. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I would do it myself but it comes in pieces.(Very confusing).

    Grabber hood paint stencil

    Any body out there ever done this themselves, or is everyone letting the painter do it?

    I've done the same thing a couple times. Just looked at a good photo and pretty much flowed with the body lines.

    As Ray said......follow the body lines where the grabber stripes narrow to go around the scopes.
