Thanks a lot for all of the input. I'm going to call Banzai!

I've owned my Z for about a year now. When I first bought it I had a garage in which I could fix/restore it myself. However, I've had to move into a large metro area and don't have that luxury anymore. Now, I'm trying to figure out how to work with repair shops. The biggest problem seems to be their ability to get parts. If they can get them, they are much more expensive (often 4x the cost of zcarsource.com for example) and take a much longer time to ship. What's more, they are often reticent to allow me to supply the parts even if I suggest they charge me a fee for the privilege. Does anyone have any relevent experience which could help? Thanks!
