Older NASCAR photo sites

Okay, so since I've been doing a lot of 2001 cars lately, I need to know certain sites to go to for race/garage pictures. Which ever ones you guys think are the best, cause that would be awesome for accurate paints.

I usually use Google but I don't want to spend like 10+ minutes just trying to find 1 photo that's around 240x380 small.

Historical Stock Car Racing Forums is a good place to start.

Not sure if this helps any or if you have some of these already but these can be some good sources if you use the search function on some of these sites if they have one. or spend a little time navigating through the site at looking at pages or links. In my past experience and I'm sure a lot of those who have re-created real paintschemes for nr2003 especially some of the ones from a few years back like 2001, would agree with me, in saying , you are not going to find "several shots of the whole car on one site, you will have to set aside some time to find images from several sites to reference from and hopefully get as much info as possible.

Now this is just my preference of way of doing things and what works for me. I create my self a main folder to work from so for example I'm going to make a 2001 Chevy Monte Carlo ABCD that was raced lets say at tally I create a 2001 ABCD CM folder then inside that I create subfolders one for each of my different types of files I need to recreate the paintscheme.

template/Contings/Reference pics/Logo's/Links/Documents( as in text file with links, notes I make or find)/renders/Car file. I know that may seem a lot of work but after I do my research and find everything I need I have it all at my finger tips and ready to use when I need it. so if I need to stop I don't have to remember where I might have saw something if I forgot to bookmark it as a link or photo somewhere. Also this way if I need to make changes or updates later I have everything , once again to make edits or changes with out having to go back and look for something again.

Sorry I went off topic..LOL here's a few links I hope will help
