(Completely unrelated yet pretty pre-restoration 1958 Fairlane for your time)

I may be taking on a restoration of a ‘71 240Z (Series II, per the owner, if that’s even relevant). I’ve never restored/repaired an older Z, but I’ve seen a handful of nice shiny ones here, and was looking for reputable parts vendors to begin researching availability/pricing. Google-fu brings up a handful of vendors, but none that I’m familiar with. Any help/suggestions/firsthand experiences with good companies to purchase from would be appreciated.

Same company as LMC Truck and Victoria British, specializes in repro parts for early Z-cars and FB RX-7s.

Awesome, thank you very much.

Familiar with LMC and Victoria, and I prefer to do business with a known entity, as opposed to someone who may disappear entirely off of the internet after I’ve placed an order for a few thousand worth of sheet metal :)

Edit: FML, they’re closing down 12/31/16.

No problem! I have one of their catalogs from when I was looking at FBs. Evidently, I don’t need that anymore with the “Crowd Catcher XL.”
