    both the sprint and grabber are great looking cars, hard to choose, some of my more learned breatheren would have more to say on this subject. But the main thing about these cars is having it the way YOU want it....so keep that in mind...Jim
    Welcome to the board by the way.:Welcome:

    I think the sprint is classier. JMO

    I'd just build a Spabber and call it even. :)

    It's really up to you. What do you like best?

    Of course I'm partial to Sprint. But then how about the Sprint design but different colors? I always thought that using yellow where the blue is would look pretty cool.

    i like the hood layouts. and the one Starsky and hutch flavored side stripe is like one i had in mind for a stocker.Koonswala, if your using ford blue the second color i like is silver on that. how about the stallion scheme in blue with silver? :huh::2cents: when you pick the colors, you should get dan or someone good at photo editing to paste a couple for you. you can just about know what the car will look like before you even paint it.(y)

    Make a Grabber with Sprint colors... 'Spabber'
    This is a photochop of what it might look like.
    You just have to imagine the Sprint badge on the quarters.

    This method would be more expensive to do than just a Sprint, due to the hood, ducktail, and other Grabber parts needed.
    The more economical way would be a Sprint clone, or a car done in Sprint 'style' with alternate colors.
    Good luck,
    Dave
