Hi Zed…..No, Chuck’s Frame Shop is a restoration shop…..mostly Porsches. He did two of my cars….both took two years. He, in my opinion is the absolute best…..no corners ever cut. I also use him for other items like spoilers…front and rear and he took the side panel strip off my silver 73 and matched the original paint to perfection. I don’t know the seller, but the owner is a good friend and never lets price get in the way of a great restoration. Here are a couple Chuck did for me.

Wow…..This is a tough crowd. Not everyone restores a Z to exactly mimic what came off the showroom floor. It just doesn’t get much better than this, and he probably won’t make much if anything on the sale ( I’ve used Chuck on all my restos and he ain’t cheap). Also, the little hole in the air cleaner for a couple thousand miles is a no event, but I use a wine bottle ratchet cork to seal mine. Amazing that he came up with a rust free Series I…..that just doesn’t happen very often on a 55 year old Z.

Zedy…..Glad to see you still wearing your steel toed safety socks!!!!

Reach under the carbs when the car is running and push up on the choke nozzles. If they are hanging up it causes the exact problem you have. you’ll hear a little snap if they are indeed hanging up. If Ztherapy built the carbs, you can feel confident its not in the carbs. IMO

Good job……me and my son Brandon did the same thing with our favorite IPA. 🥳

Wow……Driving trains. That’s something I never knew you did Madkaw. Don’t think you should have any problem getting that name back……no one else grabbed it. 😬

He did Brian…..Read the bridge sign…..Road Atlanta…..bunch of angry Datsuns etc. Happy New Year….hope to see ya soon. PS….I heard they had snow in Atlanta last week….great hill for sleigh rides!

My son thinks I need Adderall too…….Good luck with the restorations…..like I said, the most satisfying part of owning an early Z.

Wow, @dspillmana lot of interesting stuff in your pics. First of all, what a great early Z, Looking forward to your progress. What’s the story on I) The race car and 2) All the other Z’s in the pictures. Didn’t mean to divert your thread (I get carried away sometimes) Also, you’re only one state away if there’s anything I can do to help.

My body and paint guy (Chuck’s Frame Shop) has been in the frame and paint biz for 50 years. He is a perfectionist with all of the right gadgets. I don’t know what that particular frame alignment device is, but he had a blueprint of the 240Z specs taped to the door when installing the new clip. He said the finished product was perfect to spec…..probably better than original.

Been there…..done that. The most fun you’ll have owning a Z. Very satisfying!

It’s not just the gear box that determines the hubcap, it’s all of the other items in a supposed Series 1 or transition to Series 2 Z IMO. Most Series 1 cars had the ashtrays and cig lighters forward of the gear shift, they had angular half shafts and early trannys. The very early cars had 240Z on the roof quarters and vents in the tailgate. Later so called transition Z’s had no vents in the tailgate and picked those vents up on the roof quarters, but all other early features mentioned above stayed (early tranny, ash tray location, angular half shafts, cig lighter etc.) I assume all early Z’s and transition Series 1 Z’s had D hubcaps, but just my guess……Carl Beck @Carl Beckmay be able to add info or @kats @jfa.series1 @HS30-H I would be very interested to know if the transition Z’s (later 71) were considered Series 1 or Series 2? I assume that they wore D hubcaps if they had the early tranny, console and other early items that they came with D caps…….but are the transition Z’s 1’s or 2’s? Anyone?

Wildwoods are a fairly straight forward bolt on. They work well with my stock brake master cylinders too.

Great product, great price, great service!
