How much it will cost to go to the show or how much it will cost to buy everything you need to restore your Z?

A couple hundred bucks will cover the show depending on how far you have to drive and how much it costs you to stay in LA/Anaheim.

A couple thousand bucks will be required to restore your car...

It is a store and they do have a sales counter, but they don't have a big show room.

You pretty much need to figure out what you want to buy, then, if you live close enough, you can drive over, tell them what you want and pick it up saving yourself the shipping costs.

Nothing is 'on sale' during the show except the stuff in their 'dented' pile that will be on display for browsing in the back of the building on Saturday for the 'Garage Sale'.

Although, everything in their catalog is FOR SALE during the show.

Also, bookmark www.blackdragonauto.com and www.summitracing.com

A lot of the stuff from MSA or BDA can be had from Summit Racing or Jegs at substantially lower prices...

Research before you buy.
