Just a few weeks ago we were brought a 914 V-8 conversion that was in need of a
cooling system (that worked) and a whole host of other issues. The "builder" Rich, was a very pleasant older Hot Rodder that had been working on this car for months. He, and the owner Dell, live in the Pacific Northwest, near Seattle, and Rich was just looking for an excuse to come to Vegas and play for a week. So, with 914 in tow...through rain and snow...Rich brought Dell's little Porsche Hot Rod down to Vegas for a Renegade once over.

Throughout the project, I had the fortunate opportunity to talk with Dell on the phone and visit with Rich before he returned home. Both of them were quite excited that this trip would bring the car to life....and it certainly did. My last conversation with Dell, just this past Thursday, was a very positive progress report telling him that his car was nearly done and we would be delivering the car back to Washington this coming weekend as promised.

Monday (two days ago), I called his place of employment and was told he did not report to work. The person went on to tell me this was not like Dell and it had the staff very worried. Later that day, I called again. This time the voice was obviously distraught as she said he has dissappeared.

Today, Wednesday, the Washington Police have found his truck far from where it was believed he was heading over the weekend. Dell is still missing and the details don't get any better from there...

Your hopes and prayers are encouraged at this time as "one of us" may need your help to get home. I will be delivering the car as promised this weekend and I really want to shake the hand of the owner, Dell.

Thank you...

Scott...
