Robby Pics from Fontana Labor Day weekend 2007

I am hoping someone can help me out here. I am looking for a good photo of Robby's 2007 #7 The Original Roadhouse Grill/Jim Beam Ford Fusion that he ran at California Speedway on Labor Day Weekend 2007. I have not been able to locate my pictures from the race (they are still in storage somewhere) and I am going to be making a 1/64th custom and want to make sure I get it as close to the real car as possible.

I remember that wreck...as soon as I saw Robby and Clint pass by me coming off Turn 4, I knew it was not going to end well.

I already saw those pics...they weren't bad, just needed a few different angles. I do appreciate your thinking of that.

Hey all, I finally finished the painstaking process of building my first custom 1/64th diecast car. I used a 2007 Matt Kenseth #17 DeWalt Ford Fusion Team Caliber Pit Stop car as the donor (got a great deal on GoMotorBids.com last year), decals from HOCustom.com, Krylon primer and black spray paint, Testors gloss red for the spoiler and flat black for the sideskirts, and Futures Floor Polish for the clear coat. I only had one goof-up on the decals (the "GoodYear" decal over the right front shifted during clear coat and didn't notice until after the clear coat dried. Without further ado, here is the results:

Thanks TOG. It turned out alot better than I thought it would for being my first attempt at a custom. The decals over the front wheel wells are not correct and the contingency decals on the front corners have one decal that is lower than it should be...but, there isn't much I can do about that. It still turned out looking pretty damn good. Now, if I could find decals for a 1/24th 2006 #7 Harrah's World Series of Poker Chevy, I would be happy (especially if I could match the green that RGM used on the car...pics make it hard to match since one picture will look darker than another picture).
