There are many people who dont have access to a scanner or the software 
necessary to come out with good images.  I am aware  of the databases you 
described and was unable to find the photo's I need.  I need pictures of 
the engine compartment, interior, etc.  What I would like to do is put 
together a CD-Rom that contains as much of this information as possible, 
in an easy to use Encyclopedia-like format.  I've done quite a bit of 
multimedia authoring, so I could put something together in a few weeks.
