Default starting paint job today. need pace car pic!

im repainting my car completly this weekend. making it two-tone.... black on top, silver on bottom.
but i really need a good side view of a monte with the pace car decals for reference. i plan on using that design on breaking up the two tone line. the car is in good shape minus the lil crunch on the rear bumper and a couple of door dings so it shouldn't take long to fix her.

if somebody could maybe post a pic of their or something id appreceiate it lots.

thanks kidspace.

but after talking with the painter that trained me(he has 35 years of paint exp), i decided to just do a clean 2-tone break at the bodylines and add the pace car decal afterwards in lue of painting it on myself.

he made a very good point.....it leaves the door open for future design changes if i ever decide to.. just eraser wheel off the pace car decal and try something new

im going into the shop tomorrow morning at 5am to start it and it should be done by sunday .. monday at the latest.

will post pics too!

Not sure if it's too late or not. But here's pics of a 2000 pace car with the decals. I have larger, high res versions if you need them.
