Google is your friend. When hunting for race photos of a specific car it is best to start with what race that particular paint scheme was used in. That can makes your search so much easier. If you don't know what race but know the year do an image search for the driver and year (i.e. Rusty Wallace 2002) or whatever fits what you are looking for. If you know the name used for the car, in this case "Black Flame Car" you can use that too. If you don't have any of that information it's pretty much a hunt in and find with generic keywords (i.e. sponsor, car, driver, team, etc).

the search "Rusty Wallace flame car" netted me this photo. Which oddly enough is the reference photo for the decal sheet from Mike's Decals.

If I remember right Rusty ran more than 1 car with flames. The black one pictured above and at least 1 blue car. The part number from the Slixx decal sheet should be a clue as to what year the car was run, also some years the Taurus had rounder headlights rather than the triangular ones on the car pictured that's another clue to the year.

Doesn't seem to me to be too much more help for this specific car, but in general, keep in mind the jayski site at http://www.jayski.com/. Scroll down to "Paint Schemes" and select the year you're interested in.

Good luck,

Rick

Go to Randy Ayers board. It is a great place to get information even if it is not such a great place to post your builds.
