Little late to this post because I've been busy at Hollywood Hot Rods giving Jim A hand jobs... But here is a never seen before personal photo of Bob Hirahato from my collection.. The photo is not for sale.
In the research that I've done, Bob was killed in 1981 right before he was set to testify in a property dispute case. Bob had inherited some parking lots and garages and refused to sell them to some shady characters that wanted to develop the spots so that they could be built upon.. Anyways, enjoy the picture.
