Las Vegas Mechanics?
I heard of a shop in Las Vegas "The Z-Shop"...does it still exist? Does anyone recommend a reputable, reliable, no BS shop that can help me finish tinkering. I had my zx 90% restored...then some jerk fell asleep behind the wheel and slammed into the back of me @ about 50 mph! Rear ends a bit screwed...2 days ago 2 other jerks played with me and slammed my front end-ARRRRGGGGHHHH-The body shops out here are all telling me it may take "months to find the parts" and I know the are full of cr@p! Just because I am a girl-doesn't mean I am a complete idiot! I just want a straight answer-as well as a straight frame!
ADVICE PLEASE?...anyone wanna help a lady with a wrench? If I can't find a good shop then...I don't mind doing the work myself-i just wanna make sure I have all the parts necessary.
I have the motorsports catalog as well as VB.
I appreciate ANY feedback! Thanks.

Wow it is rare thing for a girl to join this website. Also verry cool that she is a Z enthusiast. Welcome to the Zdriver forum, and it seems you know your way around. But yeah let us see some pics to determine what you need, or what needs to be done.

I'm in Vegas, if you need a little help let me know. If it's body parts we can get em from the junk yard and they are super easy to swap. I just started on my 79, stripped my 80 for the 79. I still need a glass person to do my windshield, but other stuff I can help or at least point you in the right direction

I too am from vegas and no the Z-shop is no longer there. There are no real z mechanic in the area sadley. No worries though we do have a great car club with enough knowledge and experiance to help you out its at www.sincityz.org ... First off on the damage part what year is the car. Second did the frame get twised at all, if so then it would be best to get another one for the work to get safe for driving would take alot more money than getting one thats frame is not twisted. I'll be back in vegas in june and i might be parting oput my 79 or just selling it so if theres anything I or my clubbies can do to help just ask.
