To all you that are hesitating to put the PorsChev conversion together:

I have been lurking here for a couple of months (probably like most other members, it seems). Now I feel brave enough to come out of the closet!

Last winter, In put together a Renegade kit '67 912 with a ZZ4 crate engine. Never having attempted anything like this, it took all of two months, including time to have an ear operation (1 week), partial lung removal (another two weeks at least), and out-of-state vacation (10 days). Besides it was cold in Northern CA, so I wasn't out in the garage any more than I wanted to be. Sounds like Renegade commercial doesn't it? It's not, just an exclamation.

I realize you 914 folks feel you have ultimate rides, but I've driven my 912 at Sears Point and local autocrosses, and am completely satisfied with the performance (including handling; sorry Beck). Having owned and driven this car for some 34 (anemic) years, and also some other Porsches like a '58 356 Speedster, '85 944 normal and presently my '96 993 C4S, I feel initiated to Porsche driving. I must exclaim that no other driving experience has even come close to putting the SMILE on my face like driving my '67 912 PorsChev does.

My thanks to Scott at Renegade! And, to all you that hesitate beginning your conversion, DON'T! It ain't worth the wait. Like Scott says, he's "only a phone call away", and it works.

Who's around Sacramento, CA? Let's get together. See you at SEMA.

Joe
