Wonderful pictures, with captions to explain what's happening.
Is this the same family that made Giovanine Camshafts?

great pictures... i can see that last pic framed on my living room wall. any way to get the pics scanned on to a cd and sold to the public?

the streets that are written on the photo are in South Central Los Angeles. i grew up there and you can find a lot of good cars in back yards. if your not scared to drive down dead end alleys.
